What are the major RPG systems?

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can enlighten me about what the major RPG systems (i.e., rulesets) are. Here I am trying not to be specific about campaign setting but just concentrate on the rule systems.

Currently I think there are only two major rpg systems (i.e. rulesets). D20 and Hero System.

Which is somewhat ironic since Runequest apparently was just an adaption of Steve Perrin's D&D home rules (something I just found out about recently). That's not to say that that Runequest was not different enough to be considered a system in its own right.
True, but pretty much everything was an adaptation of somebody's house rules back then. :) There are some key concepts Tweet adapted for 3e (e.g., prestige classes) that weren't dependent on RQ's roots as a D&D kit-bash.
