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

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.
