Nope.  It wasn't even in 4.1BSD.

The license between the Regents of the University of California and
the party to which they supply a 4BSD distribution does not distinguish
anything as to its origin.  The UC license states that the licensee
will treat *all* of the material received under that license *as if*
it had been received from AT&T, under the terms of the licensee's
AT&T source license.  Redistributing it without sufficient care is a
violation of one or both of those licenses.
