Jun 30, 2018 at 23:28	comment	added	user541686		@Mast: I agree with DavidZ... plagiarism has always been "passing off someone else's idea as your own". I don't see how removing yourself as a co-author makes that messy -- it's still passing off someone's idea as your own. However, what I think does make it messy is the permission that was given. If they gave permission that you can pass the work off as your own, then you can call it plagiarism if you want, but it wouldn't make it unacceptable (otherwise employers are "plagiarizing" their employee's work, making the term useless). The question is whether this permission was given or not.

Jun 30, 2018 at 7:51	comment	added	David Z		I actually would call this plagiarism. My understanding of plagiarism has been that it encompasses pretty much any attempt to pass off ideas, words, images, etc. as your own when in fact they are not, and that's exactly what the other authors seem to be doing. But really, that's just a matter of terminology. No objections with how you're suggesting the asker handle the situation.
