Actually, it sets the 'setgid' bit, in this case, not the 'Sticky' bit.
The sticky bit will prevent a file from being moved (renamed) or
deleted, unless you own the file, you own the directory, the file is
writable by you, or you are root. A sticky bit will be represented in a
filename like this:
-rw-rw-r-t
^
The setgid bit sets the group id at execution. In the case of
directories, is causes subdirectories or files in them to inherit
group ownership.
