Modeling

GRASS GIS

GRASS GIS is free and open source software used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies. Comparison to QGIS: Like GRASS, QGIS is free, open source, developed by volunteers, and has a robust and active online user community. However, GRASS is mainly used for highly technical purposes and mathematical analyses. For more details, see this Stack Exchange thread. QGIS and GRASS do cooperate with each other; Plug-ins and extensions allow GRASS functions to be used inside QGIS.

OpenLayers

OpenLayers is a Javascript library that can display map tiles and markers loaded from any source in web browser. It provides an API for building rich web-based geographic applications. OpenLayers makes it easy to put a dynamic map in any web page. It can display map tiles, vector data and markers loaded from any source. OpenLayers has been developed to further the use of geographic information of all kinds. It is completely free, Open Source JavaScript, released under the 2-clause BSD License (also known as the FreeBSD).

Web development

Modest Maps

Modest Maps is a small Javascript library for interactive tile-based maps that can display maps from external sources (e.g. OpenStreetMap, but not commercial layers like Google Maps), enable panning and zooming, and track the position of points based on XML data. It is designed to be lightweight and offer a minimal set of features, and therefore has less functionality than Leaflet, a similar tool.
