ip multicast rate-limit

I'm confused by the command ip multicast rate-limit in source-list <ACL1>
group-list <ACL2>. Say if I have two sources sending to the same multicast
group as follows :

int e0
ip multicast in rate-limit source-list 1 group-list 2 3000
access-list 1 permit host 1.1.1.1
access-list 1 permit host 2.2.2.2
access-list 2 permit host 239.0.0.1

Does the above command rate-limit the aggregate as 3Mbps or it will
rate-limit each (S,G) to 3Mbps, effectively allowing a maximum of 6Mbps ?

thanks

>From the command reference, it said :

If the group-list or source-list argument is specified, the configured limit
is applied to each of the matching G, S and G,* multicast states
independently. The configured limit in the command does not apply to the
aggregate amount of traffic matched by the command, but to each covered
multicast route individually.
