Why Open Source?

The CMT garment industry is underserved by software. Most factory developers reinvent these calculations from scratch. Publishing them as MIT-licensed packages means:

1. Less reinvention — junior developers at factories can npm install instead of writing from scratch
2. Standardization — bundle ID format becomes industry standard
3. Trust — buyers can audit our calculation logic
4. SEO — packages appear in NPM search for "garment", "smv", etc.
