Yep, they're all fine, they were in the Licensing list already:
CeCILL License v2 is Free and GPL compatible. (License: CeCILL)
CeCILL-B License is Free but GPL-incompatible (License: CeCILL-B)
CeCILL-C License is Free but GPL-incompatible (License: CeCILL-C)
I'll worry about v1 if something actually uses it.
Thanks and sorry for bothering you. I didn't think to check the Licensing
list, because someone mentioned this to me as a new occurence (SciLab's
licence change, that is).
Regards,
R.
