AWS Service Terms – Zombie apocolypse in section 42.10

I feel "viral infection" is overly narrow wording. Sure, rabies, the classic zombism analog, happens to be a virus. But given there are also many known transmissible, behavior-controlling infections that are *not* viral, it seems premature to assume this property would hold for upcoming zombie epidemics.

For instance: ophiocordyceps [0,1] is a fungus, and toxoplasmosis [2,3] is a single-celled eukaryote.

I love reading Service Terms and Software Licenses. I find them fascinating. Where else could you have so much fun. For example a company creating software licenses that threaten its own employees publicly? :-)
