TortoiseSVN is free. You don't have to pay to use it, and you can use it any way you want. It is developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

You will be prompted to enter username and password. The username is guest, and the password must be left blank. The most recent version (where we're currently working) is located under /trunk/, and the released versions are located under /tags/.
