Is Adsense allowed on Wordpress?

I am confused by the FAQ of Wordpress.

I have a free Wordpress blog and would like to apply Adsense code to make some pocket money, after viewing so many threads in this nice forum.

However, I have just read from the FAQ of Wordpress that Adsense and other ads are not permitted in Wordpress blog. I got confused. May I know which version is true?

Here is the FAQ related to this question:

I think AdSense is not allowed on Wordpress.com but if you install Wordpress on your own server it's of course ok.

The FAQ says:

Adsense, Yahoo, Chitika, TextLinkAds and other ads are not permitted to be added by users. Please send us feedback if you'd like to put ads on your blog - we are considering such a feature for a future upgrade.

and

We have a very low tolerance for blogs created purely for search engine optimization or commercial purposes, machine-generated blogs, and will continue to nuke them, so if that's what you're interested in WordPress.com is not for you.
