16. [MemberWing-X](https://chrislema.com/membership-plugin-memberwing-x/)
17. [Simple Membership Plugin](https://chrislema.com/reviewing-the-simple-membership-plugin/)
18. [Page Security and Membership](https://chrislema.com/page-security-and-membership-review/)
19. [S2Member Pro](https://chrislema.com/reviewing-s2member-pro/)

These plugins, focusing on WordPress, are almost all licensed under a GPL license. Easy Quick Member isn't, which I told you about and part of why it scored so low.

Today I wanted to explain why this review was kind of a non-review. **Because MemberMouse isn't GPL either.**

Here's my take on why GPL licensing matters for plugins like this.

Overall, it's a bummer because of how awesome the feature set is.
