Black's dark squares on the 8th rank are all blocked by an unmoved black pawn. The white a-c-e pawns can promote to a dark-squared bishop with one capture each, but then all White's captures will be used up and there can be no more promotions by White on dark squares. So any position where White has more than four dark-squared bishops is illegal, and this position has six.
the maximum possible dark squared bishops is ten then???
no, it's nine.
Both sides can get 9 actually.
Yes, it's 9. Anyone else interested in supporting our cause to spread NINE across the planet?

„Nein“ ist nicht neun.
Neun ist ein Ja!
Number nine defies our reason,
Finished with its growing season.
We have to know the other eight
In order to appreciate
No room for just one more to squeeze in.
Poetry or Numerology, that is the question

Opening illegal.
Position legal (arguably - depends whether you understand "position" to include attributes that don't affect forward play).
The Joke is that black moves first. Which doesn't happen. (:
