After LaunchPad based development, need to buy C Compiler and Programmer

Dear TI,

1. The TI web video says that the 20 USD LaunchPad for TMS32f28027 includes un-restricted C compiler.

2. However, the C compiler download site has PAID and FREE distination.   Is that old information on one way or the other?  Do we still need to PAY for production use after intial development on low cost 20 USD LaunchPad?

3. Do I need to pay for any item to use with production? (loading software into the chip; any license on software, etc.)      Can I use one of the many off the shelf third party JTAG progrmmer for production flash loading use?

Many thanks in advance

John
