The first official version of FLIF has not been released yet, and currently they are discussing releasing it under Apache 2 or MPL (Mozilla Public License).

Please Not MPL. Apache 2, so most company could understand, MPL they will have to spend a lot more time evaluating it.

And I dont know of any popular project that uses MPL apart from Mozilla Firefox.

We are probably going to change to Apache2 for the decoder, LGPLv3+ for the encoder.

LibreOffice?

Eigen (perhaps not "popular" unless you're interested in doing linear algebra with C++.. :-/ )?

Surely there are others as well..

If you want a weak copyleft license, IMHO MPL-2.0 is about the best available at the moment, and relatively easy to follow.
