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'

Even after we remove the deprecated API, we will want to maintain a minimal
API for internal use, in order to avoid importing the external
tailscale.com/client/tailscale/v2 package. This shim exposes only the necessary
parts of the deprecated API for internal use, which gains us the following:
1. It removes deprecation warnings for internal use of the API.
2. It gives us an inventory of which parts we will want to keep for internal use.

clients
OAuth clients that were used to generate an auth_key previously
specified the scope 'device'. 'device' is not an actual scope,
the real scope is 'devices'. The resulting OAuth token ended up
including all scopes from the specified OAuth client, so the code
was able to successfully create auth_keys.
It's better not to hardcode a scope here anyway, so that we have
the flexibility of changing which scope(s) are used in the future
without having to update old clients.
Since the qualifier never actually did anything, this commit simply
removes it.

This helps better distinguish what is generating activity to the
Tailscale public API.

I left a few out where writing it explicitly was better
for various reasons.

The client/tailscale is a stable-ish API we try not to break. Revert
the Client.CreateKey method as it was and add a new
CreateKeyWithExpiry method to do the new thing. And document the
expiry field and enforce that the time.Duration can't be between in
range greater than 0 and less than a second.

Adds a parameter for create key that allows a number of seconds
(less than 90) to be specified for new keys.

Tailnet-owned auth keys (which all OAuth-created keys are) must include tags, since there is no user to own the registered devices.
