I actually don't have a problem with the idea of programmers putting (obvious) ads in a mod and paying to not see them (as long as they are not hidden, its standard practice for lots of internet forums and stuff).
however, this is correct:

You are at risk of getting your adsense banned from google. And believe me, they are better than you think at find out this stuff. and its very much a pain in the arse to get it back.
that said, it IS possible that this puts people who INSTALL and USE your mod at risk of Google TOS violation as well...like if they already have Adsense on their site and this puts them over the limit. That is clearly unfair. I mean one thing to add it to your mod for donation incentives (again, which I think is fine), but its another thing for it to put users at risk).
its your gamble, but I recommend finding another Ad network for your mod... there are plenty out there, and in fact, some of the other ones pay out a lot better anyway. ;)
ps. I've been in internet ad industry for years. but you don't have to believe me, check out from other sources yourself.
