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.
