How can you Hack something then open source it? thats intelectual property, if you didn't write it you dont have the right to open source it, am I right? can someone explain if this is legal, what if someone decides to use one of this filters on an app?

It's only 'open sourced' in the title of the HN submission. From the README:

  License

  Since it's a hack, literally. There's no way you could use those
  Instagram recipes in your project. But feel free to learn from
  them. Other than that part, you are welcome to use and distribute
  this project. I'll figour out an appropriate license and put it
  here later.
