I got a reply from him earlier today:

I'd say that's pretty unambiguous. Now, can someone write a dxf -> osm
filter? I can e-mail the file to anyone that wants to work on it if that
will help (it's around 200KB compressed, 840KB uncompressed). I don't want
to put it on a publicly-accessible web site, since it hasn't been put into
the public domain.
