Well, CC-BY-SA is the most restrictive license of the bunch, and there
aren't
any odd clauses in the other licenses, so if you honored the terms of
CC-BY-SA 3.0
for all of the artwork, you'd be compliant with all of the licenses.

At the strictest legal sense, all of the other licenses still exist and
apply. If you were to package this artwork for Fedora, you could do either:

[Interpreted]
License: CC-BY-SA

[Strict]
License: CC-BY-SA and CC-BY and Public Domain and CC0

Either is correct, the choice is up to the packager.
