Probably yes.  EPS files created by Adobe Illustrator contain the
image information as used by Illustrator, together with a Postscript
program which render the image information on a Postscript
interpreter.  The Postscript program is a real program, and the
variant in the EPS file is not the original source, and I doubt source
code is available under a free license.
