I need a shopping cart that is somewhat different than substruct but
has many of the same features. Basically, I want to keep the cart and
the checkout process, but completely replace the product listing to
suit my needs, so the store will look and work much differently, but
some of the admin view and the checkout process will be the same
code. This will be used for a commercial website and may also need to
be distributed to my clients sites as a self hosted model. With the
substruct license, will I legally be able to do this without releasing
the changed source code?

As long as you don't turn it into a "service" you should be good.
Hosting sites for your clients is expected.

Of course, patches are always welcome.

Can you explain what you mean by "As long as you don't turn it into a
"service"? Thanks, I just want to make sure I don't end up doing
something illegal :)

You're free to modify Substruct and deploy sites for your clients all
day, as long as proper credit is given and you don't try to take
credit of ownership for the Substruct code.

The only situation you'd run into trouble is if you were selling
Substruct as a creation of your own, or building a Substruct hosting
service, using our trademark as your own.
