Ultimately you have to comply with the terms set out in the licenses of the 
code you're distributing. For example, if those licenses require you to 
provide the source code (or a written offer for same) regardless of whether you 
have changed the source or not, then that's what you have to do for the 
software you distribute under that license.

At the very least you should check all of the licenses to make sure you 
understand your obligations.

Cheers,
Paul
