Anyone know how much it costs to license RC4
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. Perry
