Interesting question. As far as I know, per clauses 4 and 5 of the Apache license, and it's log4j variant, you cannot call your modified product log4j nor can you suggest that the modified product is endorsed by the Apache Software Foundation or the Jakarta project, without prior written permission of the foundation.
I suggest that you rename the log4j-1.2.x.jar file to something else, so that is it clear that your version is distinct from the official distribution. Thus, you should be (imho) correctly observing the terms of the Apache License.
You should take the above remarks with a grain of salt. First, although an ASF member, I am *not* an ASF officer. Second, the above remarks are my personal understanding of the Apache Software License and do not officially engage the ASF.

Hello,
We are using the Composite Rolling Appender by Kevin Steppe in our application for our logging needs . We have also modified the PropertyConfigurator class.
Can we create a new jar with a different name and package it with our new application.
Will we be violating the licensing policy of Log4J , if we package the new jar with our application.
Regards
Shailesh
