Generally, I like these changes. Had one small suggestion, but feel free to take or leave.

79	"copyright line or lines" maybe?

Approved.

share/man/man9/style.9
73	Right, I sort of remember the recent choice to say "copyright first, SPDX second". It still is backwards from the precedent set by our existing source code... But this advice is consistent with the license guide, so LGTM. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/license-guide/

73	We changed to the standard that's more widely practiced. It's not 100%, but it is more often (except for mechanically added tags in, eg, linux). The existing precedent was set by just adding a tag before the entire body of the text, which generally isn't done (we invented something weird). So the license guide realigns our weird thing with the rest of the industry.
