Wasn't Creative Commons created for just such purposes?

See http://www.creativecommons.org/

Though I'm not sure their current set of licenses / categories will have 
anything that'll draw the fine-grained distinction necessary to capture 
Dave's concern regarding Mark's usage of scripting.com content.

Hmm looking at http://www.creativecommons.org/learn/licenses/ is this
just a case of "No Derivative Works"? Their summary is 
"You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim
copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it."

Dave, does that capture your concern? If not, is there some refinement
to their license which could be expressed within the same basic
approach?
