Linux

• QGIS for Linux has tools to georeference raster.

MacOSX

• QGIS for Mac has tools to georeference raster.
• Hypercube for Mac. Hypercube is a sofisticated software 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 usefull 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 cartographer 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.
