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'

Relay handshakes may now occur multiple times over the lifetime of a
relay server endpoint. Handshake messages now include a handshake
generation, which is client specified, as a means to trigger safe
challenge reset server-side.
Relay servers continue to enforce challenge values as single use. They
will only send a given value once, in reply to the first arriving bind
message for a handshake generation.
VNI has been added to the handshake messages, and we expect the outer
Geneve header value to match the sealed value upon reception.
Remote peer disco pub key is now also included in handshake messages,
and it must match the receiver's expectation for the remote,
participating party.

ServerEndpoint will be used within magicsock and potentially elsewhere,
which should be possible without needing to import the server
implementation itself.

This commit implements an experimental UDP relay server. The UDP relay
server leverages the Disco protocol for a 3-way handshake between
client and server, along with 3 new Disco message types for said
handshake. These new Disco message types are also considered
experimental, and are not yet tied to a capver.
The server expects, and imposes, a Geneve (Generic Network
Virtualization Encapsulation) header immediately following the underlay
UDP header. Geneve protocol field values have been defined for Disco
and WireGuard. The Geneve control bit must be set for the handshake
between client and server, and unset for messages relayed between
clients through the server.

Automatically probe the path MTU to a peer when peer MTU is enabled, but do not
use the MTU information for anything yet.

This adds the capability to pad disco ping message payloads to reach a
specified size. It also plumbs it through to the tailscale ping -size
flag.
Disco pings used for actual endpoint discovery do not use this yet.

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.

The //go:build syntax was introduced in Go 1.17:
https://go.dev/doc/go1.17#build-lines
gofmt has kept the +build and go:build lines in sync since
then, but enough time has passed. Time to remove them.
Done with:
perl -i -npe 's,^// \+build.*\n,,' $(git grep -l -F '+build')

This lets clients quickly (sub-millisecond within a local LAN) map
from an ambiguous disco key to a node key without waiting for a
CallMeMaybe (over relatively high latency DERP).
Updates #3088
Signed-off-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@tailscale.com>
* fix tailscale status for peers using discovery
* as part of that, pull out disco address selection into reusable
and testable discoEndpoint.addrForSendLocked
* truncate ping/pong logged hex txids in half to eliminate noise
* move a bunch of random time constants into named constants
with docs
* track a history of per-endpoint pong replies for future use &
status display
* add "send" and " got" prefix to discovery message logging
immediately before the frame type so it's easier to read than
searching for the "<-" or "->" arrows earlier in the line; but keep
those as the more reasily machine readable part for later.
Updates #483
Ping messages now go out somewhat regularly, pong replies are sent,
and pong replies are now partially handled enough to upgrade off DERP
to LAN.
CallMeMaybe packets are sent & received over DERP, but aren't yet
handled. That's next (and regular maintenance timers), and then WAN
should work.
