If you mean ports of the GNU-basic and GCC compiler: forget it. Search the
archives for the reasons.

If you mean GPL-covered basic & C compilers: be sure to let us all know when
you find them!

If you mean a free compiler there are a few C compilers that have free demo
versions (HiTech for 16x84 only, BKD C for all PIC up to 1K?).

Microchip sells an ICSP/IC-debug board for which the full schematic and
firmware are available freely.
