Seriously, if you want that, the solution is one of:

The GPL <URL:http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> - not designed for this
sort of thing, but with real legal teeth.

GNU Free Documentation License <URL:http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html> -
designed for this sort of thing, and with the firepower of the FSF behind
it.

Creative Commons <URL:http://creativecommons.org/> - pick-n-mix licensing
which should do more or less what you want but legally less tested.
