This is possibly the most important point to emphasise, of which many people seem unaware. If you expect to receive an open source application from someone else as source code, and build it yourself, then almost by the definition of Open Source, you are already in compliance with all licences.

It is only those, comparatively few, people who build binaries and give them to other people *as binaries* who even need to think about licensing issues.
