I'll take a commit authored by someone else and then git amend the author to myself, did I write that commit then? By your logic I did apparently.

I did say co-author didn't I? Even if you added 0.000000001% to something you did so technically, yes.

If you take someone's email and forward it did you write that email? Instead of debating that imagine you took a trojan email and forwarded it to someone and they opened it - do you think you'd be held up in any way?
