Just looking at the HTML source and the directories it references I can 
see it is so similar as to be definately started from Koha.

The reply seems to me to be from someone that just uses the system and 
didnt understand what your email was about. They are probably unaware of 
the origins of the system and its relationship with open source. You 
prob need to contact someone a bit higher up.

                        Note :-)

I think it's important that they mention Koha somewhere. They have a 
heading 'About' but it's not a link to any information about their 
system. That's where they should acknowledge its origins.

Of course one must be tactful when making such requests :-)
