One possibility (not necessarily applicable for this one) is that the job involves 
work abroad. There are countries that do not give work permits unless you have a 
degree (as a proof of special expertise that can not be replaced with locals).

 

A second possibility is that somebody is paying per-hour fees. For such a job, there 
may be a specific request for someone with a degree as the pay-hour fee might be 
higher.

 
It seems though that being a kernel guru is a unique quality by itself that is not 
related to a degree. This does not mean the public perception understands that...

As someone who actually has a B.A. in computer science AND is 
knowledgable about the Linux kernel enough to get paid for code for it,
I couldn't help wondering about the same thing myself... :-)
