Personally, I would hesitate to include one of these icons in an open source project. As far as I understand it, incorporating something does count as redistribution. An open source project which includes one of these icons is a modified version of the product, which clashes with 2.ii. . Even if this licence does permit including the icon in an open source project, I'm not sure that project could be considered open source any more, since parts of it wouldn't be open source. You would have to relicense the project to make sure the icons wouldn't be sold, etc.
