AP: IBM in hot water over Linux ‘graffiti’

IBM’s crossed another city in its “Peace, Love, and Linux”
sidewalk graffiti campaign. This time it’s Chicago, and the city
says it may press a fine and charge for the cleanup.

The AP reports that this run-in was sparked by the arrest of an
IBM employee caught “painting” the campaign symbols, who now faces
property damage and vandalism charges.

If the material used to draw the images is the same as that used

similar problems

it’s reportedly bio-degradable and water soluble. On the other
hand, CNN reported that rain failed to wash off the graffiti on San
Francisco’s sidewalks.
