I think you misunderstand the agreement.
The text PG distributes is in the public domain. You are welcome to do anything you like with it. If you convert it to a different format, you must remove the PG boilerplate, as it isn't a PG edition any longer.
You can redistribute the plain text edition too.

A Project Gutenberg ebook is made out of two parts: the public domain book and the non public domain Project Gutenberg trademark and license. If you strip the Project Gutenberg license and all references to Project Gutenberg from the ebook, you are left with a public domain ebook. You can do anything you want with that.
