Revolving door is a concept but various bodies have different rules limiting when and how it is acceptable. Oracle is alleging that AWS/DoD violated those rules, now it’s up to the court to decide if they did. Edit: I’m sure that Wikipedia link doesn’t cover the full universe of rules, but it does say: > "Under current law, government officials who make contracting decisions must either wait a year before joining a military contractor or, if they want to switch immediately, must start in an affiliate or division unrelated to their government work. One big loophole is that these restrictions do not apply to many high-level policy makers..., who can join corporations or their boards without waiting." [21]
