You've never heard of people plagiarizing others' entire sites before? This is exactly the sort of thing you say when you're trying to make data public but keep someone else from slapping a different header on your data and pretending they did all the work.
The licence itself is fine. Calling that licence "open source" is what's questionable. It's almost like taking a term laboriously established by others and claiming it your own.
The term "open source" really doesn't say anything about the license. It just says that the source is open. Which in case of vector graphics might not say much.

#53Nice work!
One point of criticism is that these images don't work at all sizes (or resolutions).
For example, the image for "login" wouldn't fit in a small bar typically at the top of a website. Or as another example, you wouldn't be able to use these images as emoticons in a chat program. They are simply too big and detailed for that.

The images are SVG, i.e. vectors that can be re-sized at will and displayed in any resolution. You can even change all the colors. See https://xd.undraw.co/
If you mean some images have too many details to be displayed as small icons, well, these are not really designed to be used as icons... if you need icons, try the nounproject as others suggested: https://thenounproject.com/

#55I have used undraw.co and the illustrations are plenty, neat, and customizable to a degree. For something that's royalty-free, it is an incredible body of work. Here are some more related resources I've seen recommended by others: Photoshop but for Illustrations (paid): https://www.drawkit.io/peach https://icons8.com/ouch https://www.humaaans.com/ https://www.manypixels.co/gallery/

I disagree. The open source definition includes quite a bit about the license. There’s an organization (OSI) that works on this, and has for decades. The definition is available at https://opensource.org/osd-annotated
The ability to redistribute and change is as important, I think, as the ability to see the source.
Re: UnDraw: Open-source illustrations for every project you can imagine and create
#57The license ( https://undraw.co/license ) of the illustrations is definitely not open-source: >This license does not include the right to compile assets, vectors or images from unDraw to replicate a similar or competing service, in any form or distribute the assets in packs. This extends to automated and non-automated ways to link, embed, scrape, search or download the assets included on the website without our conse…
I would say that each image has an open source license. What is not open source is the collection of images as shown on unDraw. > unDraw grants you an nonexclusive, worldwide copyright license to download, copy, modify, distribute, perform, and use the assets provided from unDraw for free
"the collection"
Well, any collection, even one of the images, if it's served up in a similar service.

#58WTF these are ugly.
And that's not PC, but fuck it, I don't care.
Re: UnDraw: Open-source illustrations for every project you can imagine and create
#59It’s great and impressive that this was created and exists. As a professional designer, however, I strongly recommend avoiding this illustration style as it’s already considered passé and derivative. A popular twitter feed exists just to mock it. Try hiring an illustrator from upwork or directly via portfolios on behance or dribbble and make something unique. Many illustrators charge next to nothing because they have to now thanks to the commoditization of design via sites like this.

I think you're going to run into the same thing I ran into here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20864837 which is that the term Open Source has been taken over by opensource.org.
Although I suppose you won't get as many downvotes as I did (the reason for which still eludes me)
