I didn't waive anything.  It is your obligation under the GPL (Section 1) to
include a copy of the license, regardless of whether you were given one or
not.

Except that your rights to distribute these files under the license has
already terminated.  You will need the permission of the copyright holder if
you want them reinstated.

Yes, someone might have violated the license by not including one as you have.

Yes, please remove the files from your website (including the strinet package
on your site in which they are contained).  (But, I think that I already asked
you to do this.)
