1) How does a GPL'ed reference implementation prevent digital cameras from using the format?
2) The reference implementation will most likely change to a more permissive license, cf https://github.com/FLIF-hub/FLIF/issues/192 https://github.com/FLIF-hub/FLIF/issues/192
3) If digital cameras would use FLIF, they would probably need to implement a simplified encoder in hardware, e.g. one that uses a hardcoded (set of) MANIAC tree(s) and only uses a subset of the available encoding options. Otherwise it will be too slow.
