The README is way too verbose though. It should explain the project at a glance and have links to docs for the details.

https://tailscale.com/opensource: "The core client code for the Tailscale daemon used across all platforms is open source, and the full client code is open source for platforms that are also open source."
As the content at the link makes crystal clear, the client is open source. Additionally, Tailscale's GUI for that client is open source on open source platforms.
99.999% of users of closed source OSs aren't going to care that the GUI isn't open source. The remaining 0.001% just use the open source client without the GUI.
They may or may not care, but just so we’re all on the same page, there isn’t an open source version of the end user application software for closed source operating systems that I can find on that page or any other Tailscale page. If one exists, I am happy to be corrected by you, and I am giving you the opportunity to do so now.
