Hi, ST. So, there's not one "Creative Commons License". There are
several. See here:

Your following discussions say that you in fact DON'T want to give
people freedom to create derivative works; you want to retain control
what kind of derivative works are made. Yes, you've got broad
categories, but that doesn't mean you're not trying to retain those
rights.

I think what you're looking for is a NoDerivatives license. You can
then offer to allow derivative works to selected people under another,
private license. You'll need to talk to a lawyer about it.

BTW, I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, I don't speak for
Creative Commons.
