I'll echo others that Automattic/Wordpress is generally a good free software citizen. There will always be points of disagreement, of course, but it should not be lumped together with wholly proprietary platforms. I also recommend checking out Ghost, which is a relatively new player. The platform is developed by a nonprofit with focus on serving journalism projects, but they offer general hosting plans, as well: https://ghost.org/pricing/ Note that unlike WP, Ghost doesn't have a built-in commenting system. It's generally a much less feature-rich platform, with focus on clean aesthetics, performance, and social media support.
