[Sussex] Licence question

Hi all,
I have recently created a spreadsheet for my partner to help her with her
Homoeopathic case taking. It appears that it has significant advantages
over spreadsheets used by her fellow students in that it actually
calculates the "score" for each remedy as you go. In particular, it counts
the number of columns used, which is used in the reckoning for each remedy.
I am only too happy to share this work with Tracy's fellow homoeopathy
students if it will be of use to them. What I don't want to happen is for
someone to turn round & say they created it, or to derive some other work
from it & then use it for profit (some homoeopathic repertory programmes
sell for over £1,000) instead of sharing it with the community.
My question regarding licence is to do with the fact that a spreadsheet
file is not exactly software in its own right, just a file really, albeit
with formulae & other things designed to help the user.
I am aware of things like Copyleft & open documentation, which seem to be a
GPL for things that aren't directly derived from code. Does anyone have any
ideas about which of the above, or any other type of open licence that
could apply to a spreadsheet file of this type?
Any thoughts welcome.
Gavin.
