Unfortunately, using unlicense is just as problematic as using 
public domain:

https://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/147111/what-is-wrong-with-the-unlicense

The next best thing is the CC0 license (Creative Commons Zero) 
which is better written than unlicense but it's currently not 
recommended for software / source code.

http://copyfree.org/content/standard/licenses/cc0/license.txt

After that, the most-open licenses with good legal standing would 
be Boost and MIT but then you run into the same issues again with 
incompatible licenses.

I don't have any recommendations but I thought it was worth 
pointing out that unlicense isn't the solution here.
