-- Not sure I buy that explaination DXF stands for Data eXchange Format it
might be owned by AutoDesk, but the format is documented in many books. There
are many programs that read and use DXF files and I am sure they don't pay a
royalty to AutoDesk for the pleasure. Its not like its one of their proprietry
formats which they don't publish.
