Are you, as a copyright holder, considering to use a CC license?
I would recommend you to choose a clearly DFSG-free and urge your
fellows to do the same.

Believe me, it is far better than choosing a poor license and trying to
fix it with various additional permissions and "clarifications".

The usual suggestions are:

  if you want copyleft
  --------------------
* GNU GPL v2 http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.html

  if you don't want copyleft
  --------------------------
* Expat (a.k.a. MIT) http://www.jclark.com/xml/copying.txt
* X11 (a.k.a. MIT) http://www.x.org/Downloads_terms.html
* 2-clause BSD http://www.gnu.org/licenses/info/BSD_2Clause.html


Note that all these suggested licenses are GPL-compatible.
