“Noto Color Emoji” is free (Apache 2.0 License):
https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/blob/master/LICENSE

“Joypixels” is also a nice colour emoji font, but it is *not* free:

(free only for personal use).

The nice black and white emoji font “Symbola” is unfortunately not free
either, see:

http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/License.pdf

free for “strictly personal and non-commercial purposes”.
