Ask HN: MIT License, but you can't sue me later

Basically I'm working on a small game, and I really want to open source the code. It's basically a framework/prototype that others can build upon. I was thinking MIT, but I want to avoid the following. MIT Base Game Exists. Developer A creates a derivative. Developer B creates a derivative. Developer B thinks A's game is a bit too similar and decides to sue. How can I license my project without this possibility. I think Apache says you can't sue the original authors without losing your own rights to lose the code. Another option is GPL, but I don't want to stop commercial usage or force other developers into contributing back.
