Yeah. The model shouldn't likely be "I want to work on my employer's time
and receive financial remuneration from other parties as a result". It is
more likely to be successful as "I'll work on my spare time in the garage
and make some money as a result" or "I'll work on my employer's nickel and
they get any revenue as a result."

One problem is if the employer has already been paying for development of
the library in question and it has been given away for the most part so far.
What happens if you now expect to charge for it?

The reason a company probably won't go for it is that it isn't their core
business & they're not equipped to handle it. (Stick to your knitting!)
Hence, my best guess is that it will come from garage operations in some
form.
