Is this the ORIGINAL BSD license containing the ad-clause?

Then, this is a non-issue, because the decan of UCB official announced not to
legally enforce and to abandon this offending clause many years ago.
Many BSD-derived works (comprising FreeBSD and NetBSD) have been using the
decan's statement as justification to remove this clause from their sources.
