I can't think of any off the top of my head.  A few people have asked 
about modifying CC licenses but AFAIK have always ended up using a 
standard license, deciding the benefits of customization outweigh the costs.

NB CC policy on modifying licenses from 
http://creativecommons.org/policies :

We do not assert a copyright in the text of our licenses. Modified 
versions of our licenses, however, should not be labeled as 'Creative 
Commons.'
