I think that is, "fossil ui" in an open checkout, then in the browser
click Admin, Users, then the specific User ID, to get to a url very
like http://localhost:8080/setup_uedit?id=1

If it's the page mentioned above, then the source code is in
src/setup.c. Look for the word "ueditInheritDeveloper" (in two places)
and change "•" after it to, say, "◊ " in the first place,
and "◊" in the second. (There's an extra space in the first one,
to make it display clearer.)

Then do something very similar for ueditInheritReader,
ueditInheritAnonymous, and ueditInheritNobody -- perhaps "†",
"‡", and leave the other one as "•"?

Then rebuild and test that the changes (a) break nothing; and (b)
improve something.

And then use that as your version of fossil.

You can do what you like with your version of the code. The copyright form
is for when you wish to have your changes included in the main repository.

And the specific change above is a local display one, so you can get
the benefit today and worry about the paperwork later ;-)

Cheers,
