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'

Some OS-specific funcs were defined in init. Another used build tags
and required all other OSes to stub it out. Another one could just be in
the portable file.
Simplify it a bit, removing a file and some stubs in the process.

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.

One of the current few steps to run Tailscale on gokrazy is to
specify the --tun=userspace-networking flag:
https://gokrazy.org/userguide/install/tailscale/
Instead, make it the default for now. Later we can change the
default to kernel mode if available and fall back to userspace
mode like Synology, once #391 is done.
Likewise, set default paths for Gokrazy, as its filesystem hierarchy
is not the Linux standard one. Instead, use the conventional paths as
documented at https://gokrazy.org/userguide/install/tailscale/.
Updates #1866
RELNOTE=default to userspace-networking mode on gokrazy

ProgramData has a permissive ACL. For us to safely store machine-wide
state information, we must set a more restrictive ACL on our state directory.
We set the ACL so that only talescaled's user (ie, LocalSystem) and the
Administrators group may access our directory.
We must include Administrators to ensure that logs continue to be easily
accessible; omitting that group would force users to use special tools to
log in interactively as LocalSystem, which is not ideal.
(Note that the ACL we apply matches the ACL that was used for LocalSystem's
AppData\Local).
There are two cases where we need to reset perms: One is during migration
from the old location to the new. The second case is for clean installations
where we are creating the file store for the first time.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\
is frequently cleared for almost any reason: Windows updates,
System Restore, even various System Cleaner utilities.
The server-state.conf file in AppData\Local could be deleted
at any time, which would break login until the node is removed
from the Admin Panel allowing it to create a new key.
Carefully copy any AppData state to ProgramData at startup.
If copying the state fails, continue to use AppData so at
least there will be connectivity. If there is no state,
use ProgramData.
We also migrate the log.conf file. Very old versions of
Tailscale named the EXE tailscale-ipn, so the log conf was
tailscale-ipn.log.conf and more recent versions preserved
this filename and cmdName in logs. In this migration we
always update the filename to
c:\ProgramData\Tailscale\tailscaled.log.conf

On BSD, /var/db is what linux calls /var/lib.
On modern linux, /run and /var/run are the same directory, but
on BSD the correct path is /var/run, so use that.
