I asked whether I could say that a given ebook had used the PG text as source (maybe corrected, formatted, etc.), and I was given this answer:

The two primary concerns in this case are:

1. Representing the changed work as an un-changed PG eBook.

2. Trading on the PG registered trademark (i.e., if someone is going to
be making money using it, they should share the wealth -- so to speak! <g>).

A note directing readers to the PG website where they can find the eBook
which you based your edition upon would be allowed. Just don't link or
point to the file itself, just to the website.
