I've quite some knowledge of copyright myself, and I know enough that the matter is subtle enough that this declaration is, at best, an oversimplification that cannot possibly reflect reality.
Agreed, but even without legal training it's pretty clear this is a requirement. Quoting from CC-BY-SA:
You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this
License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. [...] ou must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties.
And then in the GPL:
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
Later in the license it specifies that also binary forms of the work that are conveyed must also comply with these restrictions.
