Hi Olav, et al,
As another data point, that is not true for me at the University of
Wisconsin. I can do consulting work of any kind with 10-20% of my time
if it doesn't interfere with my other duties.
While I haven't yet settled on any strong opinions regarding these
topics, I hope that we can cultivate a culture in which instructors who
do negotiate "market rate" compensation for a workshop (presuming that
option is on the table) consider donating some fraction of that to SCF.
This is a matter of cultural norms and not rules or obligations.

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.

The "not-for-profits don't pay" can be dangerous to our sustainability
outside US. Here in Brazil almost 100% of the universities that can be
interested in our workshops are 100% public funding and with
not-for-profit status.
Going with "not-for-profits don't pay" will mean that we will need
to find
another way to pay administration hours for workshops in Brazil.
For the Brazilian case, we could try get national support for
administration
cost of all workshops in Brazil in the same way that Brazilian Federal
Government has a national subscription to many non-open access
journals.
