Indeed, but to quote Brett:

"Unfortunately, such a restriction in a trademark license does make the
software nonfree.  As we've said in the past, a requirement that you
rename the software when you modify it is fine -- but a requirement that
you rename it before you distribute it commercially goes too far."

So what you have is a situation where people can't make full use of
freedom #2 to redistribute *exact copies of the original*, either
gratis or for charging a fee, to anyone anywhere.
