OpenERP (formerly known as TinyERP) is an open source ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software package. A lot of documentation and links still refer to TinyERP
OpenERP has a server and client install for Windows. Mac and Linux variations. The main Linux distributions have OpenERP in their repositories ready for an easy install. The latest version of Ubuntu (8.04) has version 4.2 still called TinyERP. For Windows there is client, server and all-in-one installers. Mac install is from source so may be a little more complicated see here.

You make a mistake concerning the licence: OpenERP is not LGPL but GPL.
And the sourceforge project is not related to OpenERP; this is another (dead?) project written in java.
