Quite easily. Something like this:

    This data is the copyright of RIPE NCC.

    A non-exclusive licence is granted to RIPE NCC members for their
    internal use. A non-exclusive licence is granted for use by any
    person for non-commercial purposes. In both cases there is no
    charge for use of the data but it must not be re-published without
    separate agreement. This does not prevent publication of any other
    work done making use of this data but not including it.

    All other rights are reserved.

[IANAL, but I understand the principles involved. A Dutch lawyer can no
doubt make it formally correct.]
