The point of the Free content is to make available something that is as legal as if it was created by the receiver. It's impossible to be more legal than that. The patent, trademark, libel, censorship and other laws may make it impossible to use Free content in some situations, but equivalent content created by user would be equally affected.
Example 1: You can't take a logo from a GFDL photo of Coca Cola headquarters and put it on soft drinks you're producing, but you couldn't if you made the photo yourself. Therefore it still qualifies as Free.
Example 2: You can't take "fair use" Britney Spears picture and put it into a book about Britney Spears. But if you made the photo yourself, you could. Thus, not Free.
But if you created the work that used the "fair use" Britney Spears you still could not.
