This was for the pre-relases, and betas. More stuff has changed, and this no longer applies. As it was stated above, removing links back to IPS and what not, that would allow them to know where you are hosting, that would be nulling. Also, you can easily bypass the license in the retail versions, but it will throw up sections of warnings. Those can be removed by removing the <div> </div> tags in certain areas of the theme.xml file.

@thehunters, what you are referring to is the md5 checks that allow IPS to know the files have been modified. As stated on their Release Notes under version 4.0.3 section....
"The support tool in the AdminCP will now do MD5 checksum on all PHP files on the system. This allows the system to detect any modified PHP files which is useful both for support and for security. The master checksum values are fetched remotely from IPS to ensure the list is not tampered with locally. "
This is handled in a file called support.php under /applications/core/modules/admin/support/support.php under an area that says
* Step 2: Self Service - md5sum Checker.
You could use the support.php file from 4.0.2 to take care of this minor problem :8
