Cool idea! Even though it is the ultimate race to the bottom :).

Will you be considering FOSS software suggestions on an open-ended basis?

It would be amusing to add Postgres as an alternative to Oracle.

Are there any other obvious rich ones which could be added?

p.s. Why is there no search box?

p.p.s How about a better name, like "BottomOfTheBottle.com", "NotOnlyTheBestButGoodEnough.com", "BottomRacer.cz", "SuperEfficient4U", etc. Something fun and light would be more entertaining to type / look at, and maybe stickier. "onlyfewdollars" just ... ugh. I don't like it.

I'll add search later, but for now, you can just take a quick look at all the products, so it's not the most important thing right now.

There are a lot of free or almost-free products like Audacity, Inkscape, LibreOffice, VLC, PostgreSQL, Davinci resolve, Netbeans, Eclipse, etc
