Java
- gvSIG is a tool for managing geographic information, developed by the Conselleria de Infraestructuras y Transporte (Valencia).
Linux
- QGIS for Linux has tools to georeference raster.
MacOSX
- QGIS for MacOSX has tools to georeference raster.
- Hypercube for MacOSX. Hypercube is a sophisticated software specifically directed to the analysis and display of multi and hyperspectral imagery. It has a good capability to rectify and georeference JPG and TIFF.
Windows
- Hypercube for Windows (here you can find how to georeference raster using Hypercube (from Brian Brown).
- Image Georeferencing Tool allows to do simple georeferencing using affine transformation and 3 points. This tool is also a part of MapWindow GIS
- Mapmaker Gratis is a light mapping software with many useful tools. There is also a possiblity to georeference rasters using the coordinates of 2 points or one point and a scale/distance.
- OCAD 8 a drawing program for cartographers/orientiering which include an Adjust raster file tool (see Ocad menu help>Menu.. and choose Template menu>adjust for better details, this is not a georeference tool but it is quite simple to use for affine transformations.
- QGIS for Windows has tools to georeference raster.
On-line
- Metacarta Labs Map Rectifier lets you georeference/register an uploaded image file to geographic coordinates/WGS84 using data from a variety of sources. See also this tutorial from Free Geography Tools web site
