Question Lynis hardening

Lynis says my /etc/issue is weak - how to strengthen?
When hardening my system with Lynis I had information about `/etc/issue` and `/etc/issue.net` being found weak.

Lynis redirects me to Enterprise, which is a paid product and a bit overkill for my home server. So, my question:

1. wouldn't those be only binding legally, as in, helpful to strengthen the claim that everyone logging in would see it's my system?
2. what would you consider "STRONG" in this case?
3. what would /l be in /etc/issue? (`man issue` and `man agetty` did not help)
