The problematic pieces appear to be contained within [0]. These two
points appear to eliminate freedom #2 [1] by making exact copies
impossible.

"You may redistribute the applicable Chef open source software under
the terms of the Apache 2.0 license, but you may not use the Chef
Marks in doing so without express written permission from Chef or as
expressly permitted in this Policy."

"We consider your compilation of our open source code into a
distribution for use in your business to be your distribution, not
Chef's distribution. Therefore, the resulting distribution must have
enough of the Chef Marks removed from the source code so as to not
confuse users as to the origin of the distribution."
