What you want is a clause like this:

if you make it clear that the modified copy is *not* the actual Apache License."
That is better.
I think so too.
I wish we could find a shorter version, or just leave it out entirely.
Hmmm, I'd prefer to have it I think.
There are already many projects that use the Apache license verbatim instead of using it as a template.
Most of the people I pointed this out to, were not aware of this, so IMHO it's important that something like this is included (unless I have misunderstood the purpose or unless this phrase is not clear enough WRT this issue).
On the other hand, if people want to use this as a template, they will actually be modifying the license and thus cannot call it Apache License but Apache-like license for instance. In reality, everyone calls it Apache license nevertheless, indicating it as everything except the subjects, so there would be a terminology mismatch here.
Oh, the beauty of licenses 8-)
