when it comes to BeSweet.. your attention to this:from BeSweet's readme
Distribution
------------
- You may not distribute BeSweet without having an explicit permission from me.
- Usually i would almost automaticly agree for developers to include BeSweet in their packages if the following exists :
-- The whole BeSweet package is included. (including all licensing textfiles)
-- BeSweet version is a release and not a beta.
-- The program is a freeware and not commercial in any mean.
-- There's an active link to my website, so that users can download the latest releases.
- Pay attention that i have my ways to test audio streams and find out if BeSweet was involved in their creation process. therefore, i would strongly advise you to simply contact me before using my work.

Not all of these programs are GPL so you will need to check the terms of those programs. The gpl stuff the basic rule is you can redistrbute the programs you want IF
a) Include the source code.
b) You tell the people (in your Readme or similar) that the source code for the program is available and where/how.

This is the section of the GPL you want is:

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
