IANAL, but:
What they want is money.  If you don't pay them then you can't use ANY of their EL distributions.  That's what Fedora and the other "free" distributions are for.

So, to answer your question, they want you to remove everything that was installed from either the RHEL installation CD or the downloaded RHEL ISO's. (V2, 3, 4, and 5)
