Is there an equivalent of CreativeCommons' "by-nc-nd" license for software?
(Attribution - Noncommercial - No Derivative Works)

Their FAQ says, "it's not recommended" using CC licenses for software.

I know there is GPL and LGPL, but their don't have the "No Derivative Works" option.

A: 

Does compilation of source code into a binary form constitute a derivative work?

The FAQ states that CC is not recommended for software, because (unlike, say, GPL) it leaves the source->compilation->linking->binary workflow in legal gray area.
