It will stop as soon as it finds the tag; the only difference is that before this commit, it would give up (and refuse the file) after 70 lines, so the effect of this commit is that it accepts *more* files (specifically, it accepts files which contain $FreeBSD$ further down that 70 lines) at no siginificant additional cost (except for those files where $FreeBSD$ occurs a long way down). If you keep your $FreeBSD$ tag near the top of the file - say, right below the copyright and license - you won't notice any difference.
