[OSGeo-Discuss] how many open source gis in the world

[Gavin Fleming]

Another good listing is http://www.opensourcegis.org/ 

And a good review is the 'white paper' on the state of open source GIS:

In that case Jeroen's suggestion of seeing http://freegis.org is your
best bet.  You will have to do some trawling through the site to collate
the info you want because I don't think it's summarised anywhere. You
may be in for a bigger job than you realise because there is /lots/ of
open source gis software.  There's plenty of obscure stuff along with
the mainstay apps so you may want to set some discrimination criteria to
make the job manageable.
