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'

For manual (human) testing, this lets the user disable control plane
map polls with "tailscale set --sync=false" (which survives restarts)
and "tailscale set --sync" to restore.
A high severity health warning is shown while this is active.

The json/v2 prototype is still in flux and the API can/will change.
Statically enforce that types implementing the v2 methods
satisfy the correct interface so that changes to the signature
can be statically detected by the compiler.
Updates tailscale/corp#791

The upstream module has seen significant work making
the v1 emulation layer a high fidelity re-implementation
of v1 "encoding/json".
This addresses several upstream breaking changes:
* MarshalJSONV2 renamed as MarshalJSONTo
* UnmarshalJSONV2 renamed as UnmarshalJSONFrom
* Options argument removed from MarshalJSONV2
* Options argument removed from UnmarshalJSONV2

The omitzero tag option has been backported to v1 "encoding/json"
from the "encoding/json/v2" prototype and will land in Go1.24.
Until we fully upgrade to Go1.24, adjust the test to be agnostic
to which version of Go someone is using.

We add setting.RawValue, a new type that facilitates unmarshalling JSON numbers and arrays
as uint64 and []string (instead of float64 and []any) for policy setting values.
We then use it to make setting.RawItem JSON-marshallable and update the tests.

When auto-update setting in local Prefs is unset, apply the tailnet
default value from control. This only happens once, when we apply the
default (or when the user manually overrides it), tailnet default no
longer affects the node.
Updates #16244

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.
Updates #6865

Add in UPnP portmapping, using goupnp library in order to get the UPnP client and run the
portmapping functions. This rips out anywhere where UPnP used to be in portmapping, and has a
flow separate from PMP and PCP.
RELNOTE=portmapper now supports UPnP mappings
