That depends entirely on the collection, and what rights are granted with it. For example, the Baen Free Library is a copyrighted set of books, but the Project Gutenberg is not. Baen in well within their rights to limit what you can do with it.

If you take the text from Project Gutenberg, you can convert it, repackage it and distribute it as you see fit.
