SDCorp, the company that makes it, has this list of mirrors in their FTP
welcome message:

    ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/linux/corelwp/wp8prerelease/

    ftp://pcp.media.mit.edu/pub/wp8/

    ftp://arakis.dyn.ml.org:31/pub/linuxgui8.tar.gz

    ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/wordperfect/sdcorp/

    ftp://ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/linux/sdcorp
    ftp://ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/linux/wp

Additionally, it's probably on ftp.sdcorp.com someplace.
