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'

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.

And rewrite cloud detection to try to do only zero or one metadata
discovery request for all clouds, only doing a first (or second) as
confidence increases. Work remains for Windows, but a start.
And add Cloud to tailcfg.Hostinfo, which helped with testing using
"tailcfg debug hostinfo".

And remove the GCP special-casing from ipn/ipnlocal; do it only in the
forwarder for *.internal.

This does three things:
* If you're on GCP, it adds a *.internal DNS split route to the
metadata server, so we never break GCP DNS names. This lets people
have some Tailscale nodes on GCP and some not (e.g. laptops at home)
without having to add a Tailnet-wide *.internal DNS route.
If you already have such a route, though, it won't overwrite it.
* If the 100.100.100.100 DNS forwarder has nowhere to forward to,
it forwards it to the GCP metadata IP, which forwards to 8.8.8.8.
This means there are never errNoUpstreams ("upstream nameservers not set")
errors on GCP due to e.g. mangled /etc/resolv.conf (GCP default VMs
don't have systemd-resolved, so it's likely a DNS supremacy fight)
* makes the DNS fallback mechanism use the GCP metadata IP as a
fallback before our hosted HTTP-based fallbacks
I created a default GCP VM from their web wizard. It has no
systemd-resolved.
I then made its /etc/resolv.conf be empty and deleted its GCP
hostnames in /etc/hosts.
I then logged in to a tailnet with no global DNS settings.
With this, tailscaled writes /etc/resolv.conf (direct mode, as no
systemd-resolved) and sets it to 100.100.100.100, which then has
regular DNS via the metadata IP and *.internal DNS via the metadata IP
as well. If the tailnet configures explicit DNS servers, those are used
instead, except for *.internal.
This also adds a new util/cloudenv package based on version/distro
where the cloud type is only detected once. We'll likely expand it in
the future for other clouds, doing variants of this change for other
popular cloud environments.
