i don't know if the code in any particular library is plagiarized, but
those concepts are used in a number of date libraries, dating back to HC
2.0. I wrote one of them. i loved the way quicken 1.x, i think, let you
enter dates. then, some years later, i discovered remember the milk, and
added all of their contextual vocabulary, too. i wasn't the only one,
either. there were several others making the rounds on the usenet groups.
maybe yours was one of them, back then. i don't remember.
dang, i'm old.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
