Not necessarily. Basically, you cannot release rights you don't have. A
simple example: let's say you have a free photo of politician A, and a free
photo of porn star B (in some explicit pose). If you crop the head of A and
paste on the body of B, it will probably considered illegal in quite a
large number of countries. In this case, it's still free copyright-wise...
