Nevermind, I didn't read the initial post of this thread (which had been cut out). It sounds like you're looking for a font that can be distributed with Mediawiki as a webfont, in which case it does need to be free license.

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:/deb...), 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.
