Doesn't MOSS stand for Maldives Open Source Society?
I can't find a lot of info on them as they don't seem to be active
online at the moment, but I did find this:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-core-marketing/2009-June/000000.ht…
Maybe someone could e-mail the author of that message and ask if they
can be of assistance in determining the copyright status of the font?
Based on that e-mail it appears they may be the same group as the
Maldives Linux Users Group:

Just some ideas...

Hello. The fonts at Dhivehi Wikipedia and
Wiktionary are not webfonts. If
possible could the fonts be changed
to Faruma which can be downloaded from here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mvishah/ttf-dhivehi-fonts/trunk/view/head:/ttf…
The copyright for that package is GPL (see
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mvishah/ttf-dhivehi-fonts/trunk/view/head:/de…),
which we could use.
However, it isn't clear that the font itself is under the GPL. The
copyright file says "downloaded from
http://moss.org.mv" but
moss.org.mv doesn't appear to be registered currently so there is no DNS
domain.
IANAL, but I think we need to show proper provenance for the fonts
before we can use it and right now, it looks like I'm hitting a dead end.
