It doesn't.  Although I think the bounty system was put together under
the assumption that the resulting code would be open source?  I'd go
for making that distinction.  If someone wants custom code then that's
what they would ask for, and if they post a bounty everyone knows the
result will be available to the community.   At $200 someone might be
willing to do the work if they know it's going to be open source, but
if it's a work for hire, $200 is extremely paltry.
