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>	3 days ago
Brad Fitzpatrick	98a5116434	all: adjust some build tags for plan9 ... I'm not saying it works, but it compiles. Updates #5794 Change-Id: I2f3c99732e67fe57a05edb25b758d083417f083e Signed-off-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@tailscale.com>	2 years 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
Mihai Parparita	2f702b150e	cmd/tsconnect: add dev-pkg command for two-sided development ... Allows imports of the NPM package added by 1a093ef482 to be replaced with import("http://localhost:9090/pkg/pkg.js"), so that changes can be made in parallel to both the module and code that uses it (without any need for NPM publishing or even building of the package).

Mihai Parparita	6f5096fa61	cmd/tsconnect: initial scaffolding for Tailscale Connect browser client ... Runs a Tailscale client in the browser (via a WebAssembly build of the wasm package) and allows SSH access to machines. The wasm package exports a newIPN function, which returns a simple JS object with methods like start(), login(), logout() and ssh(). The golang.org/x/crypto/ssh package is used for the SSH client. Terminal emulation and QR code renedring is done via NPM packages (xterm and qrcode respectively), thus we also need a JS toolchain that can install and bundle them. Yarn is used for installation, and esbuild handles loading them and bundling for production serving. Updates #3157 Signed-off-by: Mihai Parparita <mihai@tailscale.com>	4 years ago
