Great question! You use the Tailscale clients which are fully open source. Headscale is compatible with them, and if TS gets sketchy (which, very well may happen), those clients would need a fork.

Tailscale's network is with paying for it you need enterprise features and they do have a free tier. I'm not going to lock myself in there though and prefer a full FOSS option.
