The biggest problem with that page is that there is no copyright notice 
above that statement.

Following the practice found in the code what should be done is to 
retain the  FreeBSD copyright notice and add a DragonFly notice above or 
below (can't find any consistent behavior on which one). Look at 
src/sys/i386/i386/identcpu.c and src/sys/i386/i386/machdep.c.
