How does the license stop anyone from marketing a renamed product?

I looked at the license for pgAdmin II
( http://pgadmin.postgresql.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=2 )
and it don't see that explicitly stated.

Is it a consequence of (a) anyone must reprint the pgAdmin Public License
plus (b) condition 5, that "The names and trademarks of the authors and
copyright holders must not be used in advertising or otherwise to promote
the sale, use or other dealing in this Software without specific, written
prior permission."?  So when you put those two together you get the
no-rename feature?
