Hi Brian - what you need is an *extensible* rights expression language.

The Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL) is one such example.
It's model is based on a comprehensive view of IPR and Contract  
requirements.
It's based on XML Schema and can be extended (easily) with your own  
Profile or reuse
of the core profile semantics.

And, even better, there already exists a Profile that captures the  
semantics of
the Creative Commons licenses terms. It is an approved recommendation  
and is
is available from:

   <http://odrl.net/Profiles/CC/SPEC.html>

Your additional restrictions, eg "no reverse engineering" can be part  
of your own community profile
and mixed with the ODRL/CC Profile.

I hope this is useful...

Cheers...
