According to Johan Meiring:

ARCFOUR and RC4 compatible implementations are *widely* available outside
the USA. In this respect the US export laws are not relevant given that the
code is produced and available entirely outside the USA.
SSLeay includes all the required routines ... as do most other freely
available encryption packages. For more information see details in the FAQ
at http://www.psy.uq.oz.au/~ftp/Crypto/ ... however SSLeay includes a lot
more than what you are looking for.
You could just simply pick up draft-kaukonen-cipher-arcfour-01.txt and
use the code provided in it. It describes the algorithm in detail and has
test vectors and a sample implementation. Grab it from your local ietf
mirror site.
Tim.
