Thanks for the suggestion to look for a LICENSE field - not really familiar with RPMs and I didn't think to look for that. Good news! All four packages (3 translations and then locales-ng) are listed as GPL in the RPM. I've uploaded the results of:
rpm -qi $packagename for each package to http://chrismurf.com/nigerian-translations/license-info.txt, but the punchline is that all of them are listed as GPL in their respective packages. Hooray for metadata.
