How about going for an ISP-version of the 22V10? Or do you have a stack
of 20V8 which you want to use?

AFAIK all vendor tools require registration of some sort; I'd go for
Lattice's current "ispLEVER starter" software, but you'll even find
ancient DOS versions of the old PALASM software for free on the net.
Not sure whether you want to deal with PALASM (the language), though.
Personally, I prefer some "higher" language like ABEL or CUPL (the
latter is pretty much extinct, AFAIK only Atmel still uses it while the
other (C)PLD vendors are offering ABEL design flows if not even
Verilog/VHDL).
