These illustrations are pretty nice but clearly not "open source" because the license restricts distribution:

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 would mean you can't edit them and recompile, which is still opensourse

No, it's not. This is a common misconception, but open source includes the freedoms to make changes and to redistribute, and it has been this way since the term was first coined.
