NonCommericial - I think use in Wikipedia is non-commerical.
Wikipedia use is non-commercial, but since it is open for reuse, the reuse need not be necessarily non-commercial.
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) http://svayambhava.org/index.php/en/sanskrit/fonts
Also it is clearly stated that it can be used as a web font.

I just saw that web fonts facility have been added to Indic wikis. On Hindi and Sanskrit wikipedia, there are Lohit Devanagari and Samyak Devanagari fonts.
I request to add Sanskrit 2003 web font to Sanskrit wikipedia (and if possible to other Devanagari script based wikis) because it is the
best
Unicode font to display Sanskrit text. It is also free, so there is no problem to use it for this purpose.
As far as I could check, it is not a freely licensed font. They are
only
free for personal use. I could not find a clear license statement for
it
though, If you could find it, please point it to us. If its freely
licensed,
please file a bug request here[1]
