I do not understand what exactly it have to do with the license.

You have to provide source code only if you distribute a binary. We
would you distribute the binary during the game? They just have to be
received by a server, which is something we can hardly call 
distribution
(in this case, it would mean that you would have to send the source
code of your ssh client each time you start a ssh connection).
