There's nothing curious about it.
PostgreSQL isn't paying them any advertising dollars, and isn't a
"commercial product" that people pay dollars for.
If you review the items on the "ballot," you'll find a virtually
complete absence of "free software" on the list of products for people
to vote for.
This particular poll isn't about "open source" or "free software;" it
is about what are the most popular _commercial products_ for Linux.
_Pervasive PostgreSQL_ or _Mammoth PostgreSQL_ would be the relevant
_products_ to suggest, not the "free software" database, PostgreSQL.

The poll isn't about "OSS"; it's a popularity contest for proprietary
software that runs on Linux.
