Revision: emacs@sv.gnu.org/emacs--devo--0--patch-30 Creator: Michael Olson <mwolson@gnu.org> Merge from erc--main--0 2006-01-30 Michael Olson <mwolson@gnu.org> * erc-stamp.el (erc-timestamp-right-align-by-pixel): New option that determines whether to use pixel values to align right timestamps. The default is not to do so, since it only works with Emacs22 on X, and even then some people have trouble. (erc-insert-aligned): Use `erc-timestamp-right-align-by-pixel'.

28 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid

29 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.

30 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you

parents:

Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

36 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their

a21a2f14a765 *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
40 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,

41 distribute and/or modify the software.

44 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free

a21a2f14a765 *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

47 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original

50 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
a21a2f14a765 *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
parents:

51 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free

a21a2f14a765 *** empty log message ***
Gerd Moellmann <gerd@gnu.org>
