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-thaana-fonts/faruma.ttf
The copyright for that package is GPL (see
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mvishah/ttf-dhivehi-fonts/trunk/view/head:/debian/copyright),
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.
