As others have said, if this really matters to you, you should consult a lawyer who deals with copyright issues, and you should look into the relevant laws and cases in the jurisdiction that applies to you. Personally I do not think the statement above is correct in the U.S., but I am not a lawyer. In any case you cannot go wrong by following the requirements in the Go license, which are simple enough, and are an instance of the widely used BSD license.
