When I created and distributed <a href="http://blog.everythingflex.com/fotobooth/" title="FotoBooth" rel="nofollow">FotoBooth</a>, I was not concerned with this as these filters are ones that are freely distributed anyway so I simply included them within the app. However, one thing to point out is that the files included in the distribution are the compiled filters (.pbj) and not the actual source files (.pbk), so although you can poach them and reuse, you can't change them without the source.
