The message comes from sv_membersh itself; it runs when the user
authenticates with SSH, as a direct outcome; its license is AGPLv3+,
with the relevant clause saying, "...your modified version must
prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely...
an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version."

I believe users who authenticate do interact with sv_membersh
in a way analogous to the frontend PHP code invoked through Apache.

Do I misinterpret anything?
