The Debian maintainer (who is also the upstream co-maintainer) confirmed that the code was relicensed to GPL with permission (as described in LICENSE).

Arc521.doc has similar language. I can't find a statement or discussion about the license change. I'll ask Debian about it.

The Readme file also mentions not charging for the software.

It looks to be in arc_5.21m.orig.tar.gz as well.

While examining arc_5.21o.orig.tar I found this note in the files arc.c and marc.c:

printf("You may copy and distribute this program freely,");
printf(" provided that:\n");
printf(" 1) No fee is charged for such copying and");
printf(" distribution, and\n");
printf(" 2) It is distributed ONLY in its original,");
printf(" unmodified state.\n\n");
