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'

RELNOTE=Fix CSRF errors in the client Web UI
Replace gorilla/csrf with a Sec-Fetch-Site based CSRF protection
middleware that falls back to comparing the Host & Origin headers if no
SFS value is passed by the client.
Add an -origin override to the web CLI that allows callers to specify
the origin at which the web UI will be available if it is hosted behind
a reverse proxy or within another application via CGI.

The new read-only mode is only accessible when running `tailscale web`
by passing a new `-readonly` flag. This new mode is identical to the
existing login mode with two exceptions:
- the management client in tailscaled is not started (though if it is
already running, it is left alone)
- the client does not prompt the user to login or switch to the
management client. Instead, a message is shown instructing the user
to use other means to manage the device.

Now that 1.54 has released, and the new web client will be included in
1.56, we can remove the need for the node capability. This means that
all 1.55 unstable builds, and then eventually the 1.56 build, will work
without setting the node capability.
The web client still requires the "webclient" user pref, so this does
NOT mean that the web client will be on by default for all devices.

Adds a new Mode to the web server, indicating the specific
scenario the constructed server is intended to be run in. Also
starts filling this from the cli/web and ipn/ipnlocal callers.
From cli/web this gets filled conditionally based on whether the
preview web client node cap is set. If not set, the existing
"legacy" client is served. If set, both a login/lobby and full
management client are started (in "login" and "manage" modes
respectively).

Allows for serving the web interface from tailscaled, with the
ability to start and stop the server via localapi endpoints
(/web/start and /web/stop).
This will be used to run the new full management web client,
which will only be accessible over Tailscale (with an extra auth
check step over noise) from the daemon. This switch also allows
us to run the web interface as a long-lived service in environments
where the CLI version is restricted to CGI, allowing us to manage
certain auth state in memory.
ipn/ipnlocal/web is stubbed out in ipn/ipnlocal/web_stub for
ios builds to satisfy ios restriction from adding "text/template"
and "html/template" dependencies.

We already had a path on the web client server struct, but hadn't
plumbed it through to the CLI. Add that now and use it for Synology and
QNAP instead of hard-coding the path. (Adding flag for QNAP is
tailscale/tailscale-qpkg#112) This will allow supporting other
environments (like unraid) without additional changes to the client/web
package.
Also fix a small bug in unraid handling to only include the csrf token
on POST requests.

Adds a cached self node to the web client Server struct, which will
be used from the web client api to verify that request came from the
node's own machine (i.e. came from the web client frontend). We'll
be using when we switch the web client api over to acting as a proxy
to the localapi, to protect against DNS rebinding attacks.

move the tailscale web client out of the cmd/tailscale/cli package, into
a new client/web package. The remaining cli/web.go file is still
responsible for parsing CLI flags and such, and then calls into
client/web. This will allow the web client to be hooked into from other
contexts (for example, from a tsnet server), and provide a dedicated
space to add more functionality to this client.

When running `tailscale web` as a standalone process,
it was necessary to send auth requests to QTS using
localhost to avoid hitting the proxy recursively.
However running `tailscale web` as a process means it is
consuming RAM all the time even when it isn't actively
doing anything.
After switching back to the `tailscale web` CGI mode, we
don't need to specifically use localhost for QNAP auth.
This reverts commit e0cadc5496.
