Could mean, "required by the TOS but not mandatory for upload; the automated process doesn't check for it."

Otherwise, I agree with you, required=mandatory; not sure how a thing could be one without the other. (And "the rules demand it but the code doesn't" should probably be phrased as "mandatory but not required." Or "mandatory but not enforced.")
