I don't think "We used some of his code once" is an appropriate thing
to say, given that the Bison manual and AUTHORS file says
The words are appropriate. The code we used with Corbett's explicit
cooperation is in fact the core of Bison, but its identity was not
relevant to the point I made.
Now, this was more than 15 years ago, so I'm sure that you simply forgot, but
you really should avoid this kind of phrasing.
I was well aware of all these facts when I carefully chose my words.
By the way, I obtained the original version of Bison directly from
Corbett in January 1984.
