Is It Legal To Get Sponsored for a Mod?

Hi all,

Here is the EULA for the GECK. I'm not legal expert, so wondered what you guys thought:

So my question is: Is it legal for a company to sponsor a modding project / modder? By sponsor, I mean, put money into the continued production of the mod, or future mods, and in exchange the modder will place adverts within the mod for that company. For example, placing posters around the new locations of the mod, referencing that company.

What do you think?

From reading the EULA myself, it seems only 'selling the mod' is prohibited, but it doesn't seem to mention receiving money from advertising within the mod, as users are still not charged to play, so the mod is still free.
