Will Norris	3ec5be3f51	all: remove AUTHORS file and references to it ... 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' Updates #cleanup Change-Id: Ia101a4a3005adb9118051b3416f5a64a4a45987d Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>	4 days ago
Will Norris	71029cea2d	all: update copyright and license headers ... 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. Updates #6865 Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>	3 years ago
David Anderson	f570372b4d	control/controlbase: don't enforce a max protocol version at handshake time. ... Doing so makes development unpleasant, because we have to first break the client by bumping to a version the control server rejects, then upgrade the control server to make it accept the new version. This strict rejection at handshake time is only necessary if we want to blocklist some vulnerable protocol versions in the future. So, switch to a default-permissive stance: until we have such a version that we have to eagerly block early, we'll accept whatever version the client presents, and leave it to the user of controlbase.Conn to make decisions based on that version. Noise still enforces that the client and server *agree* on what protocol version is being used, and the control server still has the option to finish the handshake and then hang up with an in-noise error, rather than abort at the handshake level.

David Anderson	02ad987e24	control/controlbase: make the protocol version number selectable. ... This is so that we can plumb our client capability version through the protocol as the Noise version. The capability version increments more frequently than strictly required (the Noise version only needs to change when cryptographically-significant changes are made to the protocol, whereas the capability version also indicates changes in non-cryptographically-significant parts of the protocol), but this gives us a safe pre-auth way to determine if the client supports future protocol features, while still relying on Noise's strong assurance that the client and server have agreed on the same version. Currently, the server executes the same protocol regardless of the version number, and just presents the version to the caller so they can do capability-based things in the upper RPC protocol. In future, we may add a ratchet to disallow obsolete protocols, or vary the Noise handshake behavior based on requested version.

David Anderson	d5a7eabcd0	control/controlbase: enable asynchronous client handshaking. ... With this change, the client can obtain the initial handshake message separately from the rest of the handshake, for embedding into another protocol. This enables things like RTT reduction by stuffing the handshake initiation message into an HTTP header. Similarly, the server API optionally accepts a pre-read Noise initiation message, in addition to reading the message directly off a net.Conn.
