No. In the context of IP law they are exact opposites, since
the
"rights" in question are specifically the rights
to limit other people's
freedoms.

The are the exact negatives of each other. Each freedom
defines a right, 
and vice versa. (If you mean "rights to restrict",
which is the way that 
rights are worded in the CC licenses.)
So while being the exact opposites, they are defining the
same boundary, 
and I think that's what Björn wanted to express.
