By changing the source code; do the same thing by modifying the
preference record outside of Plucker and there won't be any
problems (unless you mess up the preference record:)

It's still a fork, though. Where do you draw the line? Is it still
Plucker just because it has the same capabilities? That would open
up for all kinds of abuse.

If you make changes to the source code and distribute a viewer based
on that source code then it's not Plucker any longer. There is no "if
you change this much it is still Plucker, but if you change that much
it won't be Plucker"; either you use the source code we distribute or
you don't (and then you shouldn't call it Plucker).

It's a simple rule that everyone should be able to understand...

So that there is no doubt about what you are running on your device.
