According to This article, The most important source of interference in the band is commercial microwave ovens, of which there are over 100 million in use in the US alone.
There are a couple of open source apps on slashdot, and Linux already runs commercial db products such as those based on Oracle,DB2 or Progress.
The problem for an open source project is that every country has different mandatory and/or statutory accounting rules that need to be followed, so in order to gain the cross-national critical mass that an open source accounting project would need, it would have to recruit experienced accountancy/ERP/CRM programmers from a multitude of different countries, with a project leader from each country assuring that his/her countries requirements are not ignored.
This could be the biggest sourceforge project of all time!

Interesting that they chose a market where Apple is still pervasive....
