I was conflating two things. You are right; the Apache license allows you to do lots of things with the code that is released under the license.
But I'll stand by my concern about using the Apache brand for another product. Which means that you need to be very careful to label the changed code as your own and not Apache's.
And I'll also reiterate that if you're taking code from the repository and not from a project's source release, you're on your own to guarantee the code's provenance.
