That's right.

BTW, can't conceive any real legal hindrance from relicensing
files with GPLv3, because the rights of the authors are
not touched.
The copyright-holder may licence as (s)he will, you will not
diminish this right.
IMHO you may distribute free software, if no license is
specified, with licence GPLv3, as it affects only your
distro, not the original copyright.
