What if I want to add some conditions and I clarify what I mean by a specific term? Is there anything wrong with adding conditions on top of a CC license?

Answer:
CC licenses do not support additional conditions. You are free to license your works in any way you wish, but once you have added additional conditions, your work is no longer under one of the standard CC licenses, but is rather subject your own customized license. When this happens, your work is no longer mixable with other CC licensed works, thereby preventing remixing in future derivations and adaptations of your material – likely defeating your reasons for openly licensing the work in the first place.
