In general this is the right thing to do, thank you for simplifying the License field for these packages. One remark about this tough, I wonder what files the CC0 licenses were for ? Sometimes acceptable CC licenses (typically other ones then CC0) are used for assets, like icons / artwork / docs. In that case, since those assets are not linked into a resulting binary the assets stay under the CC license (AFAIK, IANAL, etc.). So if that is the case for any of the above packages then the new License field should still include the "and CC0", with the binaries being under the GPL variant and the assets being under CC0. This is typically documented with a comment in the .spec above the License field explaining things.
