Hello Cypherworld,
Anyone know how much it costs to license RC4 or how RSA has been
handling the whole situation?
I finally got my Turbo C implementation to work with the DELPHI
2.0 version, I'm pumped. Now I just have to get GCC figured out and I'll
make the Linux version work too. yyyeeeeha.

Zero, since the thing was protected by trade secret, not patent, and
it is no longer secret. However, it appears that the name "RC4" is a
trademark and so you should probably use another name. I suggest
"arcfour", which is the name of the known RC4 compatible cipher in SSH.
