I don't read TL;DR as suggesting that you don't have to include the copyright notice. As you say, the copyright information is part of "this instrument," and the summary says that the license must be included. I wouldn't infer that the absence of the copyright notice tag under "must" in TL;DR as suggesting otherwise, just poor tagging.
