Hello Dave and welcome :-)

I checked out your website and failed to find where you specify what type of
open source licence you use (the small print) :-)  Is it GPL-ish or BSD-ish?

Although I found a download area, I was unable to figure out which of the
hundreds of folders, I should go to , to find the source.

and I found no indication of what language or platform you use for your
products.... 

This are my starting questions for you :-)

From what I saw, it looks like you are speciliazing in the accounting
aspects of school (e.g. tracking student transactions) 

... yet another important aspect that we ought to consider for a complete
open source school package
