No, the /free is necessary in the main source if /end-free was coded before the /copy. The freeness (freeity?) in the main source is restored after the /copy is processed. So if it was non-free before the /copy, then it is assumed to be non-free after the /copy. It doesn't matter what happened in the /copy file.
