We don't have to limit ourselves to free license fonts for what we use
on our own servers. We only have to limit ourselves to free license
fonts for what we distribute with our software. Of course, we should
always try to support free license fonts when they are available, but
there is no reason for us to artificially limit ourselves to free fonts
for our own projects (assuming the licensing fees are reasonable).

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.
