No, but I've heard that *cooked* tomatoes release the lycopene more effectively.

Yes, that is true : ) !
For many vitamins and antioxidants the opposite is true but for lycopene cooking causes better absorption and availability. Cooking tomatoes makes lycopene 100% (literary ) more available. Cooking tomatoes is olive oil makes it even more available for absorption.
