I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by "sublicenses".  Do you think
that redistribution of possibly changed code is "sublicensing"?  Please
check whether the license you have in mind will have any conflict with
the following DFSG guidelines which are widely accepted as open source
definition:

   https://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

If you see any conflict in any of these items we probably can not find
any license that will fit your needs.  It would help if you would
exactly specify what you want to approach with the license.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
