The hosting requirments are there for the sake of the free software
community, and it's explained along the GNU essays.  Therefore we
always ask the mantainer to fix the issue before proceed to apply
stronger actions.

BTW: I'm concerned about writing correct english but I have not a

No, read http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html if you are
concerned about why it's important (And required) to acklowledge the
GNU work and philosophy when using GNU Savannnah.
