  [1] UTUTO es y será siempre un proyecto en el marco de la filosofía
  GNU.

My attempt to translate it to English (this remains in Spanish in the
site, even in the English version):

  [1] UTUTO is and will always be a project in conformance (?) with the
  GNU philosophy


Now, the GNU philosophy goes far beyond the 4 freedoms and the FSD, far
beyond distributing only software that respects the 4 freedoms.

The Free System Distribution Guidelines are an integral and important
part of the GNU philosophy, although only recently were they put into a
single document.

So I expect no less than compliance with these guidelines, from any
project recommended by the GNU project, and from anyone who shares the
GNU philosophy.

I expect no less from the UTUTO project, the very first to undertake
these efforts.  It's a big surprise and disappointment to me that we're
still having this conversation :-(
