We decided to NOT go on strike but instead have the ticker and a
statement.

Fedora is an international project and there are a lot of similar acts
in other countries. We had this discussion in Germany already and AFAIK
there are similar acts discussed in the UK and Spain.

If we go on strike because of SOPA, we'd also need to go on strike for
all the other acts or for censored internet in countries like China.
We'd need to shutdown the Fedora website *permanently* because we cannot
draw a line between the US and SOPA on the one hand and all he other
countries on the other. This is why most of us think a statement from us
is better.
