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
