¶[LAB+, TOOLS] Comrade License
### [!*] merge with Extra body?

"...in what would normally be just an exchange, like tech transfer for money — evaluates a more complex image of the financial and political standing of all involved..."
"... and then prescribes the next steps — pushes all towards something more than that: involved & lasting resource, workflow, knowledge commoning."

Comrade License is a process that regulates fair/consensual use of infrastructures & other resources with fellow travellers, especially from art & activist worlds. With diverse investigative and prescriptive interventions, it aims to develop a continuous mutual utility & shared understanding.

¶[LAB+, TOOLS] Extra-legal Bodies (w/ Extra body vzw)
### [!!!**] develop this an write a proper outline:

Extra Body is a legal entity that supports comradely, counter-capitalist practices in the cultural fields.

Established in 2020, it aims to design, produce, exercise, coordinate, support and disseminate this research, by organising and setting-up various long- and short-term projects that can operate mutually-but-autonomously. It forms an umbrella for an intersectional field that connects the domains of (visual) art, new media, technology, product development, performances, housing, (health) care and general welfare, (art) education, cooperative and p2p economic models, etc.
###[!] maybe shorten

The lab will conduct interviews with varied local, national and international activist & artist groupations to document their (extra)legal infrastructures.
Finally, it processes that documentation towards a printed edition.
###L add/// The lab will operate in close proximity to the CL."""
