I don't know about your system... but my system already has 349 folders in
/usr/share ... which would likely be overwhelming to John Q Public.
I'd suggest a different, perhaps dedicated, location if it is to be
system-wide.
If it's under /usr, it'd really have to be somewhere in %{_datadir},
i.e. /usr/share. And given that Fedora does not even use /opt, it's
hard to see it going somewhere else. Although perhaps
/usr/share/fedora-cc/{books,music,video,...} is less scattered than
/usr/share/{books,music,video,...}.
One consideration would be to have a fedora-cc-menus similar to
games-menus, that would make sure any contents appear in a reasonable
place in a user's applications menu.
