By saying "gnu" you're telling automake that your project needs to
have NEWS, AUTHORS, ChangeLog, and COPYING (which you don't have), and
thus it rightly complains. Perhaps you could change this to
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign
or in configure.ac:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(foreign)
But if you do think you should have those files, by all means go ahead
and create them (and check them into the repository).
