As an FYI: you don't need to change ox-html.el. You can just load a file
containing the redefinition *after* you've loaded ox-html. Something
like this (untested):

(eval-after-load "ox-html"
      (defun org-html-checkbox (checkbox)
        ....))

That way, you have pristine sources *and* you get the redefined
function.
