That has to be the most idiotic TOS I have ever seen. They want to tell you what ads you can & cannot run on a website. Now if word press was a paid service, without a free version that anyone can download and host on a $5 a month hosting plan, I could see this having some traction.
If I used a free wordpress account, I would be moving it to my own hosting today.

I agree with Jeremy – Mad, mad, mad!… and in many ways it rubs against the grain of all the freedom of movement the Internet gives us.
OK I host my wordpress blog privately, but I’m lucky to be able to afford a good host. How can others afford to get a hosting account if they can’t first of all earn from sponsored ads?
Crazy

I totally agree with the first two persons who commented. It’s really ridiculous!

I’ve written about PayPerPost and why it will kill any blog here. PayPerPost is definately something that should be avoided.
