Just adding that solutions that have been suggested here, to just connect
interested instructors with companies and to let them negotiate, are out of
bounds for me. As a university employee I am not allowed to teach elsewhere
for personal gain, while participating at workshops as an invited
instructor hosted by other universities can be considered part of my job
description. My guess is that most instructors here are in the academia and
have similar rules.
