From what you said though, it sounds like they might have a free plan, only I can't see anything about that on their site?

I was interested in ManyPixels, but wow, that is an expensive service! From what you said though, it sounds like they might have a free plan, only I can't see anything about that on their site?

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think paragraph (5) of https://www.creative-tim.com/license?ref=iradesign-footer applies here "There can be different components in some of our Items that can have a separate License from this one, and other license terms may apply to that specific component. Usually, those components come with a Free and Open Source MIT License."
No worries! You can use the illustrations as you want. You can just give credits if you want. The paragraph from our license which says that you can't use products to create templates, and so on, applies to our templates (containing code), not illustrations.
It seems to me that the MIT license isn't really involved at all here. It can't apply to standalone illustrations, because MIT is a software license, and you're not open sourcing the code. What, specifically, is MIT licensed here?
For illustrations you want something like Creative Commons. Those licenses are not software-specific like MIT is.

#28The licensing terms don't seem compatible with open source. They're just free (gratis) for many uses though.

#30Why someone should go to such lengths in order to make someone money for free? Have companies just become a leech on public with tax evasion and discount and private?
Giving something away for free is an extremely effective way of promoting your other paid projects. In this case the project helps get https://www.creative-tim.com/ in front of a lot more people.
