Cling UPnP SDK http://teleal.org/projects/cling
Cling is an effort to create a UPnP-compatible software stack in Java. The project's goals are strict specification compliance, complete, clean and extensive APIs, as well as rich SPIs for easy extension.
GUPnP UPnP SDK http://www.gupnp.org
GUPnP is an elegant, object-oriented open source framework for creating UPnP devices and control points, written in C using GObject and libsoup. The GUPnP API is intended to be easy to use, efficient and flexible. It provides the same set of features as libupnp, but shields the developer from most of UPnP's internals.
Herqq UPnP (HUPnP) UPnP SDK http://www.herqq.org/
A software library for building UPnP devices and control points conforming to the UPnP Device Architecture version 1.1. It is designed to be simple to use and robust in operation. It is built using C++ and the Qt Framework following many of the design principles and programming practices used in the Qt Framework. It integrates into Qt-based software smoothly and enables truly rapid UPnP development.
igd2-for-linux UPnP IGD:2 device http://gitorious.org/igd2-for-linux
This is The Linux UPnP Internet Gateway Device 2. It is modified from the original Linux UPnP Internet Gateway Device [http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net/] according UPnP InternetGatewayDevice:2 specifications.
linux-igd UPnP IGD:1 device http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net
This project is a deamon that emulates Microsoft's Internet Connection Service (ICS). It implements the UPnP Internet Gateway Device specification (IGD) and allows UPnP aware clients, such as MSN Messenger to work properly from behind a NAT firewall.

The MiniUPnP project offers software which supports the UPnP Internet Gateway Device (IGD) specifications.
pupnp UPnP SDK http://pupnp.sourceforge.net
The portable SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp) provides developers with an API and open source code for building control points, devices, and bridges that are compliant with Version 1.0 of the Universal Plug and Play Device Architecture Specification and support several operating systems like Linux, *BSD, Solaris and others.
QT-BRisa UPnP SDK http://brisa.garage.maemo.org/
BRisa is a project focused on the development of UPnP technologies. It provides two projects: the python-brisa and qt-brisa, while a third project is under development: a java version. BRisa Python and Qt implement the UPnP specification 1.1 and shares the same framework API to building UPnP devices, services and control points. This means that developers are able to implement application in one of these programming language reading only a common programming API. In this way, developers only needs to learn just one API and implement UPnP applications in the programming languages BRisa project provides, this prevents, among other problems, have to learn other UPnP stack/API in case it is necessary to migrate codes from one programming language to other. BRisa project is released in MIT License (Python version) and in LGPL License (Qt version).
UPnP-DM_Linux UPnP DM:1 http://sourceforge.net/p/upnpdm
This is a Linux UPnP Device Management version 1 that implements Basic Management and Configuration Management services, according UPnP DeviceManagement:1 specifications.
