+Free software is used by the majority of developers, and it can lead one to wonder why it is preferred. The
 use of free software in developer spaces, as previously mentioned, has been because of people wanting to use
 tools they can tinker with, and because they are developers they already know how to do that.
 
 Most developers have pages hosted on websites like GitHub and source forge, where they post code they have written,
 this is in a sense creating free software, that can be viewed by anyone. The reason they do this, can be

+put up to a lot of things, but one could say it is because they prefer free software. They prefer it for the same reasons 
+previously mentioned; that it can make for easier to developer code, produce better quality code, and the more general
 philosophical points that can be made. Developers like to make their software open and free, because they believe 
 it betters their work.
 
-The majority of developers also enjoy contributing, working on and with free software, all for the same reasons;
-it simply leads to nicer software for their use case, and because so many developers work with free software, 
-a lot of it has become developer focused, contain features for them. Large amounts of free software is solely

+The majority of developers also enjoy contributing, working on free software, for many reasons;
+it simply leads to nicer software for their use case that they feel they have worked on, and because so many 
+developers work with free software, a lot of it has become developer focused, contain features for them. Another
+reason is because it is positively looked on in the work place; contributing to FOSS projects for many is an extra qualification,
+much like volunteering is in other fields\cite{FOSSforjob}. Large amounts of free software is solely made for developers, by 
+developers, for example IDE's that were spoken on earlier in this paper.
 
+\subsection{Why this causes others to not like FOSS}
 Another point to note is why free software is \textbf{not} preferred by more general users. It is mostly for the
 same reasons, being made for and made by developers has made the space hard to enter for general users. It 
 can seem overwhelming, or too complicated, with little gain at face value. As less general users uses Free 
 Software, it is easier to single out that developers are the only people who use it. It is also worth pointing
-out yet again, that most people, even without trying use free software all the time, through common tools, like 
-VLC, Notepad++, and through libraries that power the software they use.
+out yet again, that most people, even without trying use exclusively free software, will end up using some anyway
+through common tools, like VLC, Notepad++, and through libraries that power the software they use. However these 
+people would not be deemed as \textit{"in the FOSS communality"}.

 Overall it is clear that developers prefer free software for the simple reason of it works better to their
