It is an anti-piracy measure, it helps Sky track down those people showing live matches illegally.
As Zacs says - it means that if a Sky employee sees a match being shown to the public they can verify the source of the signal & determine whether it is properly licensed.

If you see a Sky match in a pub you should usually see a 'pint glass' symbol on the screen to confirm that it is a legal showing.
