The FreeBSD and BSD licenses are very friendly to you, examples are in /usr/share/examples/etc/bsd-style-license and /COPYRIGHT on FreeBSD machines. The GPL may be a bit more problematic, but only if you make any changes to the GPL source. Otherwise, you're fine, just be sure to read and understand the licenses.
