Not for the one you made.  But that's an issue of open-source
orientation, not the fact that it is a job posting.

This is a Linux user group; most of the people here have a _strong_
affinity for open source.  Short job and product postings strictly
related to Unix, preferably Linux, whose software product if any will
be open-sourced, will pass without adverse comment (and have done so
several times in the past).

Job (and product) postings explicitly referring to non-Unix systems
(viz. NT) are considered by some off-topic (even if combined with a
Unix-related post) but have been ruled to be OK (as long is there is
substantial Unix and/or open source content).  Job and product
postings referring at all to non-open-source products are hardly
likely to go without adverse comment.  Products whose open-source
status is questionable are likely to be questioned.

I don't see what's so surprising about that.
