I think it was referring to the book you found that left PGA's logo in the e-book put up on Kobo. I found

If you want to use the name Project Gutenberg anywhere in the ebooks you distribute or on the distribution medium or in advertising you have to obey these rules:
- you may only distribute verbatim copies of the ebooks. No changes are allowed to the ebook contents. (Though reformatting the ebook to a different file format is considered okay).
- If you charge money for the copies you distribute, you have to pay royalties to Project Gutenberg.
- You must refund your clients for defective copies or if they don't agree with the Project Gutenberg license.
If you don't agree with any of the above mentioned restrictions, you may not use the Project Gutenberg trademark. You may still distribute the ebooks if you strip the Project Gutenberg license and all references to Project Gutenberg.

Since that book had the PGA logo, but wasn't entirely verbatim (different cover), that probably violates the first bullet. And there's pretty much zero chance they were paying royalties to PGA so that violates the second. Kinda doubt they followed third one either.
