The CC-licenses are not designed for use with computer software. I 
suggest that you have a look at the GPL and/or LGPL licenses instead. 
That being said your requirements includes parts where you reserve the 
right to arbitrarily decide who may license your work. I really can't 
see how your requirements could be met by a open source license. The 
"open source definition" (see 
http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php) includes a ban on all 
discrimination against any fields of endeavour, so it seems like you 
have to write your own license...
