IANAL to say the least but I don't see how this could be accomplished
for the original work without the copyright holder forfeiting rights to
some intermediary.
In any case by-nc[-sa] accomplishes this, abut only for derivative
works. If I publish a work and you modify it, both under by-nc[-sa],
neither of us can make commercial use of the your or subsequent derivatives.
