You don't really need "static linking" for it to work on the Mac, so I 
don't really understand what you mean here. Derelict doesn't work simply
because there are no build scripts, nor code, for Mac OS X ("darwin")...

The OpenGL shared library is in "/System/Library/OpenGL.framework",
normally linked with "-framework OpenGL". SDL can be linked in two
ways, either with SDL.framework (Mac) or with libSDL.dylib (Unix).

Or did you mean "without using function pointers", with your "static" ?

If you want people to contribute to it, you need to settle on a license.

Wiki4D is under the GNU Free Documentation License, so that is more GPL
and "Free Software". If you want something like BSD and "Open Source",
then I think an Open Content license would work best? Or, you could give
up copyright and place it in Public Domain. But I'm not sure about that.

See for instance http://opencontent.org/ or http://creativecommons.org/

The code from last year is in the CVS, at http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/
