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.
