The Creative Commons "ShareAlike" option does that, no joke :-)

If you really want to avoid that others make money with it, then you
want the "NonCommercial" option. AFAIK this would also forbid all
other commercial usages (like placing your music in a blog that
has google ads).
Nils,
Have a look at this site. It might help clear things up a bit.
Others can make money of your material but not without asking you for
permission first.
