I have no doubt on this.  

But see my concrete real-world example, where the Archives of Toulouse
uses © for pictures while commons uses free licenses.  The black-out
will leave only © versions in the wild.  The Archives of Toulouse should
fix this.  I'm just being curious whether this "mistake" is a rare
occurrence or something more common -- in the latter case, GLAM should
rethink their strategy, and the GLAM movement should be very clear on
advocating the importance of free license on top of the importance of
contributing to the projets.  Just a matter of priority.
