Impossible to tell without having seen the sources and without knowing 
the contents. /usr/share/<package>, /usr/lib/<package>, 
/usr/{lib,lib64}/<package> would seem likely candidates.

Packages installing to /opt are not allowed in Fedora. In most cases, 
such packages are simply incorrectly configured.
