Does light inherit the source's horizontal velocity in a moving light clock?

In case anyone is interested, I have found a similar interpretation in http://www.av8n.com/physics/light-clocks.htm#sec-discuss

How do we know that really the speed of electromagnetic wave is the fastest speed in universe, and not something else? Ok, we know that wave doesn't travel instantly, but has its speed, and requires time to travel through space, but why is it then immediatly the fastest speed?
