Not true, that sentence is there to cope with projects which don't bother
including the license as required (see also the "should have received"
wording).

Section 4 of the GPLv3 actually requires you to:
"give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program."
Likewise, section 1 of the GPLv2 requires you to:
"give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with
the Program."
