Trademark law basically forbids "trading on the good name" of the trademark holder. Thus is it illegal to resell PG eBooks without permission if you use the Project Gutenberg name to do so. Project Gutengerg is a registered trademark.

They are not necessarily the same and perhaps Project Gutenberg could clarify what they consider trademark infringement and non-infringing acknowledgements.
