Hey, I know that guy! He's one of the people in the OpenPandora community who care about freedom rather than just "open source". Quite a loud libre software supporting voice there.

Anyway: FLIF is an alternative for widely used non-patented, non-secret formats like PNG and JPEG. So really, even if it stays entirely under the GNU GPL and isn't adopted by proprietary programs as a result, so what? They'll just continue to use PNG and JPEG, which are perfectly fine, and it will only be their loss that they can't use FLIF.
