This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

tailscale version --json now includes an osVariant field that will report
one of macsys, appstore or darwin. We can extend this to other
platforms where tailscaled can have multiple personalities.
This also adds the concept of a platform-specific callback for querying
an explicit application identifier. On Apple, we can use
CFBundleGetIdentifier(mainBundle) to get the bundle identifier via cgo.
This removes all the ambiguity and lets us remove other less direct
methods (like env vars, locations, etc).

On Windows arm64 we are going to need to ship two different GUI builds;
one for Win10 (GOARCH=386) and one for Win11 (GOARCH=amd64, tags +=
winui). Due to quirks in MSI packaging, they cannot both share the
same filename. This requires some fixes in places where we have
hardcoded "tailscale-ipn" as the GUI filename.
We also do some cleanup in clientupdate to ensure that autoupdates
will continue to work correctly with the temporary "-winui" package
variant.

Fixes the various CLIs for all of the various flavors of tailscaled on
darwin. The logic in version is updated so that we have methods that
return true only for the actual GUI app (which can beCLI) and the
order of the checks in localTCPPortAndTokenDarwin are corrected so
that the logic works with all 5 combinations of CLI and tailscaled.

Fixes tailscale/corp#18441
For a few days, IsMacAppStore() has been returning `false` on App Store builds (IPN-macOS target in Xcode).
I regressed this in #11369 by introducing logic to detect the sandbox by checking for the APP_SANDBOX_CONTAINER_ID environment variable. I thought that was a more robust approach instead of checking the name of the executable. However, it appears that on recent macOS versions this environment variable is no longer getting set, so we should go back to the previous logic that checks for the executable path, or HOME containing references to macsys.
This PR also adds additional checks to the logic by also checking XPC_SERVICE_NAME in addition to HOME where possible. That environment variable is set inside the network extension, either macos or macsys and is good to look at if for any reason HOME is not set.
Updates ENG-2848
We can safely disable the App Sandbox for our macsys GUI, allowing us to use `tailscale ssh` and do a few other things that we've wanted to do for a while. This PR:
- allows Tailscale SSH to be used from the macsys GUI binary when called from a CLI
- tweaks the detection of client variants in prop.go, with new functions `IsMacSys()`, `IsMacSysApp()` and `IsMacAppSandboxEnabled()`

In the sandboxed app from the app store, we cannot check
`/Library/Preferences/com.apple.commerce.plist` or run `softwareupdate`.
We can at most print a helpful message and open the app store page.
Also, reenable macsys update function to mark it as supporting c2n
updates. macsys support in `tailscale update` was fixed.

Commit 59c254579ea63c669ffb3b5031e51288422c5194 moved a lot of work
from functions that could be eliminated at compile time (because
tests against runtime.GOOS are compile-time constant), into code
that must always run before main().
So, revert that, and instead optimize the package only by moving the
remaining string processing code behind sync.Onces.

This updates all source files to use a new standard header for copyright
and license declaration. Notably, copyright no longer includes a date,
and we now use the standard SPDX-License-Identifier header.
This commit was done almost entirely mechanically with perl, and then
some minimal manual fixes.

Add `tailscale version --json` JSON output mode. This will be used
later for a double-opt-in (per node consent like Tailscale SSH +
control config) to let admins do remote upgrades via `tailscale
update` via a c2n call, which would then need to verify the
cmd/tailscale found on disk for running tailscale update corresponds
to the running tailscaled, refusing if anything looks amiss.
Plus JSON output modes are just nice to have, rather than parsing
unstable/fragile/obscure text formats.

This is for use by the Windows GUI client to log via when an
exit node is in use, so the logs don't go out via the exit node and
instead go directly, like tailscaled's. The dialer tried to do that
in the unprivileged GUI by binding to a specific interface, but the
"Internet Kill Switch" installed by tailscaled for exit nodes
precludes that from working and instead the GUI fails to dial out.
So, go through tailscaled (with a CONNECT request) instead.
