You don't need to register or download anything. Now, if a newer version of XCode or gcc comes out from Apple that you want, yeah, then you need to register. But it is not a requirement to get gcc. Keith Dan,

I'm pretty confident stock Ubuntu comes with a compiler, or is at the very least an "apt-get install gcc" away. No registration required, and you won't receive spam from them years after you have abandoned their OS. Sincerely, -daniel Sean,

Free development tools and a nice IDE? What was it that you wanted? I can't comment on the HTML e-mail design, I guess. The fine print seems unfortunately run-of-the-mill these days. “Xcode 3.0, the latest major version, is bundled free with Mac OS X v10.5, though it is not installed by default.”
