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 makes the `switch` command use the helper `matchProfile` function
that was introduced in the `remove` sub command.

Fixes#12255
Add a new subcommand to `switch` for removing a profile from the local
client. This does not delete the profile from the Tailscale account, but
removes it from the local machine. This functionality is available on
the GUI's, but not yet on the CLI.

3dabea0fc2 added some docs with inconsistent usage docs.
This fixes them, and adds a test.
It also adds some other tests and fixes other verb tense
inconsistencies.

The approach is lifted from cobra: `tailscale completion bash` emits a bash
script for configuring the shell's autocomplete:
. <( tailscale completion bash )
so that typing:
tailscale st<TAB>
invokes:
tailscale completion __complete -- st
RELNOTE=tailscale CLI now supports shell tab-completion

Also capitalises the start of all ShortHelp, allows subcommands to be hidden
with a "HIDDEN: " prefix in their ShortHelp, and adds a TS_DUMP_HELP envknob
to look at all --help messages together.

USAGE
funnel <serve-port> {on|off}
funnel status [--json]
Funnel allows you to publish a 'tailscale serve'
server publicly, open to the entire internet.
Turning off Funnel only turns off serving to the internet.
It does not affect serving to your tailnet.

This also moves the color handling up to a generic spot so it's
not just one subcommand doing it itself. See

This PR starts to persist the NetMap tailnet name in SetPrefs so that tailscaled
clients can use this value to disambiguate fast user switching from one tailnet
to another that are under the same exact login. We will also try to backfill
this information during backend starts and profile switches so that users don't
have to re-authenticate their profile. The first client to use this new
information is the CLI in 'tailscale switch -list' which now uses text/tabwriter
to display the ID, Tailnet, and Account. Since account names are ambiguous, we
allow the user to pass 'tailscale switch ID' to specify the exact tailnet they
want to switch to.

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.
