No, it's intended to mean that you can't, as a volunteer, go to someone
and say "Mozilla agrees to do X", in such a way that they can then go
and sue Mozilla if Mozilla doesn't do X. In other words, you can't agree
to contracts on Mozilla's behalf.

I think the misunderstanding is because "bind Mozilla to agreements" is
slightly lawyer-speak. Perhaps "make binding agreements or sign anything
on behalf of Mozilla"?
