If I'm to take parts of Zend Framework and changed them (add something, remove...), and then changed it's name, for example Zend_Config to My_Config or Zend_Application_Bootstrap to My_Application_Bootstrap, and then distribute such a code with a commercial license would I then be violating Zend's licence?

If that is not an option, what can I do then? Do I need to use their code "as is" without changes if I want do distribute it with my commercial application?

According to the license, you are able to modify it as you wish and distribute it freely, as long as the copyright notice is maintained.

As far as a more elegant solution, extend the Zend Framework instead of modifying it. This will allow you to upgrade the framework much more easily. I would have My_Config extend Zend_Config and then change the things that needed to be changed. Same with the bootstrap, etc.
