really?

"provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that
this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7
apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any
warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the
Program." in GPLv3

"provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this
License along with the Program." in GPLv2

Not very different from the Attribution clause in 
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode 

The only widespread FLOSS licenses that I know of that doesn't include
similar wording are a Public Domain dedication (such as CC0) and 
the WTFPL.
