There are quite a few on Sourceforge, although not all actually have
software available. One that can be regularly found near the top of
the SF charts is Freemind:
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page . It is
written in Java and licensed under the GPL (v2?). One thing I like is
that near the top of the page it says: "Did FreeMind make you angry?
Write a complaint" and provides a link direct to the appropriate
forum. Nice touch! I hope it is rarely used, though...

Another that was near the top on a quick search was XMind:
http://www.xmind.net/ . This is also written in Java and is licensed
under GPL v3. There is also a commercial product (XMind Pro) with
extended functionality.

I haven't used either of these so I am making you aware of them rather
than "recommending" them but they are certainly worth a look.
