I am looking at Stanford NLP Parser for extracting noun phrases from a text. Is there something better that can be used for free?

If you're working on English data, check out the Illinois chunker. I've yet to try it out, but it's pretty new and the folks at Illinois tend to write good NLP software.

Update: the project is available on github now: https://github.com/IllinoisCogComp/illinois-cogcomp-nlp/tree/master/chunker

Can't say about better, but there are a lot of them for free LingPipe, OpenNLP, Mallet, NLTK (Python)
