Note: Candidates who rely on open source code to solve problems need not apply.
Obviously, they're talking about self-described "web developers" or "web designers" who take open-source web-apps and build around that. Still, worded this way, I have to laugh out loud.

Update! Looks like they got enough "what in the hell?!" responses to refine the last sentence:
Note: Candidates who rely on pre-packaged applications or frameworks such as Joomla or Cake to create web sites need not apply.
Oh well, it was funny while it lasted.
