The Wiki page states it is public domain, so you can just download it 
yourself and host it somewhere.

However, after giving my emailI see that none off this is necessary, and 
the DRCOG page is confusing. The links to the actual building data is at 
the bottom of 
http://gis.drcog.org/datacatalog/content/planimetrics-2016-building-roofprints, 
by delivery area. The PLANIMETRICS_2016_EXTENT_BUILDING_ROOFPRINTS.zip 
file which requires registration is available at 
http://gis.drcog.org/datacatalog/sites/default/files/shapefiles/PLANIMETRICS_2016_EXTENT_BUILDING_ROOFPRINTS_0.zip 
and only contains the extents of the area with data.

I did notice that although the wiki page states it is public domain, 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/7/7e/Data_Use_Permission_Granted_to_OSM_-_Signed_Sept_2017.pdf 
has a license, contradicting the wiki page.
