It's all boost licensed, right? Should be fine because of that 
(best leave a copyright notice just to be sure)

Unzip is probably GPL'ed if it's from Linux, but could be 
distributed without source of unmodified (if your program only 
works with a specific GPL'ed program then it can be in violation 
of the GPL to not publish it's source but it's just a archive 
manager)
