No, but the specification is useful if you want to write software for such devices.

The specification is pretty easy to find. A number of universities have it published publicly. Google is your friend.

Yeah. That said, don't go selling or advertising custom PCI devices without paying the piper. They're not like the MPAA or RIAA, but you still might get stuck with a cease and desist order. Or maybe that just applies to the official PCI logos.
