Yeah, I'm not sure why this is asked so often. Don't copy the icons
themselves into your bundle and redistribute them. Just use the
various APIs OS X has to get the icons you want. I mean, that's why
they're there, after all. iconForFile:, NSBundle, et cetera.
Copying is also bad because it can make your application look out of
date really quickly when Apple updates the icons (as they almost
always do every major OS X release).
Dynamic lookup, FTW!

Some people think you can get around this by referencing the icons
instead of actually including them (can be implemented by using the
"Icon Services" type and creator code and passing them to
NSWorkspace's iconForFile: method).
