Redistributable files should IMHO be shipped with PROJ.4.

http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ lists a bunch of third party grids - including the
BETA2007 - but it's not clear if the files are redistributable.

BTW the BETA2007 grid is already supported in QGIS' datum transforms.  It will
offer a transformation using the grid if it's available.
