You're right- it does say it should be able to ban Jimbo. Not likely to happen.
The Wikipedia's licensing allows us to ban Jimbo. If for some reason, Jimbo needs to be banned, we can do it. If Jimbo pulls the plug, we can use the GPL'd database and the GPL'd software and start our own fork. That's hardly ideal. There are some very difficult problems to deal with, such as domain ownership, which will hopefully be resolved as power is transferred to a group, rather than a single person.
Not to say, of course, that there's any foreseeable reason to ban Jimbo.
