Of course it is. You can use anything in the public domain without asking permission or paying for rights. But there is a distinction between copyright infringement and plagiarism; they are not identical. Taking material from any source, and allowing the appearance that it is your original work, is plagiarism. You might not go to jail for it depending on its extent, but you would surely end any hope of a distinguished academic career.
