And I swear it's both :) See http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Liter
"der LiĀter", maskuline or "das Liter", neuter. It is just both. But if you learn neuter and stick to it, you won't be wrong. So there is nothing to fear. I think the discussion is mainly due to Duolingo flagging something wrong during a test even though it should be right too.
Wikipedia tells us that DIN 1301, Teil 1 uses "das Liter", so for science and technology the neuter version is ok.
