NoDerivs - Do the font need to be modified for using
as web font?
It is clearly stated that it can be used as a web font.

Either of "NonCommercial" and "NoDerivs" clauses in the license make
it invalid for usage in Wikimedia projects,
because they limit the
usage of the font.

In that case please add Sidhanta font to Sanskrit
wikipedia, it has most
feature rich font for Sanskrit. (Sanskrit 2003 is better in display)

Also it is clearly stated that it can be used as a web font.
