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'

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

with a "HIDDEN: " prefix in their ShortHelp, and adds a TS_DUMP_HELP envknob
to look at all --help messages together.

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.

Currently if you use '-c' and ping a host that times out, ping will
continue running indefinitely. This change exits the loop with "no
reply" when we time out, hit the value specified by '-c' and do not
have anyPong. If we have anyPong it returns nil.

If --until-direct is set, the goal is to make a direct connection.
If we failed at that, say so, and exit with an error.
RELNOTE=tailscale ping --until-direct (the default) now exits with
a non-zero exit code if no direct connection was established.

I was going to write a test for this using the tstest/integration test
stuff, but the testcontrol implementation isn't quite there yet (it
always registers nodes and doesn't provide AuthURLs). So, manually
tested for now.
