Thanks. Good to know that there are decent hosts to choose from, that help support WP by paying licensing/service fees.

They don't "support WP". All the fees are going to Automattic, as was revealed in term sheet Matt himself shared.

The "volunteers" on the WP project that approve all of the work and revisions are full time Automattic employees. The work that the Foundation does primarily benefits Automattic.

There is nothing to even support besides Automattic.

You are contradicting yourself.

The money goes to the company that employs the people that work on WP... soooo, the better Automattic does, the better it is for WP.
