This paper is occasionally cited as containing most of the content of

he plagiarized from Poincaré.
One of reasons which Einstein has been acused of plagiarism is because
Einstein said not the truth when affirmed several times "I did not know
Poincare work before 1905". We know from several sources (including
Einstein colleagues at Bern) that Einstein read Poincaré works *before*
1905.
I do not know from where you get the idea that Poincaré 1900 contains
"most of the content of Einstein's 1905".
Poincaré works spread towards 1902, 1904, 1905, and 1906. Last papers
contain everything contained in Einstein 1905 more a number of results
Einstein never got during its entire life: four momentum, four force,
spacetime invariant s...
It is not surprising that even traditional relativists like Roger Penrose
start to call special relativity the theory of Poincaré and Einstein.
The remainder of the content of
Einstein:1905 (so goes the story) was lifted from a later paper from
Poincaré -- 1904 or early 1905, not sure of the date of that one, and I
haven't read it.
