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'

Now cmd/derper doesn't depend on iptables, nftables, and netlink code :)
But this is really just a cleanup step I noticed on the way to making
tsnet applications able to not link all the OS router code which they
don't use.

* util/linuxfw: fix IPv6 NAT availability check for nftables
When running firewall in nftables mode,
there is no need for a separate NAT availability check
(unlike with iptables, there are no hosts that support nftables, but not IPv6 NAT - see tailscale/tailscale#11353).
This change fixes a firewall NAT availability check that was using the no-longer set ipv6NATAvailable field
by removing the field and using a method that, for nftables, just checks that IPv6 is available.

chains and rules (#11852)
This PR bumps iptables to a newer version that has a function to detect
'NotExists' errors and uses that function to determine whether errors
received on iptables rule and chain clean up are because the rule/chain
does not exist- if so don't log the error.

Remove IPv6 NAT check when routing is being set up
using nftables.
This is unnecessary as support for nftables was
added after support for IPv6.
https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/ch18s04.html
https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Building_and_installing_nftables_from_sources
Additionally, run an extra check for IPv6 NAT support
when the routing is set up with iptables.
This is because the earlier checks rely on
being able to use modprobe and on /proc/net/ip6_tables_names
being populated on start - these conditions are usually not
true in container environments.

Go style is for error variables to start with "err" (or "Err")
and for error types to end in "Error".

This commit replaces the TS_DEBUG_USE_NETLINK_NFTABLES envknob with
a TS_DEBUG_FIREWALL_MODE that should be set to either 'iptables' or
'nftables' to select firewall mode manually, other wise tailscaled
will automatically choose between iptables and nftables depending on
environment and system availability.

This commit adds nftable rule injection for tailscaled. If tailscaled is
started with envknob TS_DEBUG_USE_NETLINK_NFTABLES = true, the router
will use nftables to manage firewall rules.

This package is an initial implementation of something that can read
netfilter and iptables rules from the Linux kernel without needing to
shell out to an external utility; it speaks directly to the kernel using
syscalls and parses the data returned.
Currently this is read-only since it only knows how to parse a subset of
the available data.
