I think CC-BY-NC-SA (Attribution, Non-commercial, Share-a-like) would
probably be the most appropriate:
    http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.1/au/

This would allow for reprinting/republication of our work for
non-commercial purposes as long as it is attributed to the writer. It
also allows your work to be freely translated into other languages if
offered under the terms of the same license (in which case it will be
attributed to both you as the writer and the translator).

For what it's worth, GNOME Journal releases under
Attribution-Sharealike.
