Hello:
I am a North American Fedora Ambassador and would like to ask for a non exclusive Creative Commons License [1] to use Papercdcase for the purpose of distributing Fedora Linux [2].
Because we are a Free Software and Free Culture project we need to be able to re-distribute everything under Free Licenses that allow for commercial distribution.
There are a couple of Creative Commons Licenses that we/you could use:
Attribution cc by This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in terms of what others can do with your works licensed under Attribution.
License Deed: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0 Legal Code: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode
Attribution Share Alike cc by-sa This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use.
License Deed: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 Legal Code: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode
Thank you for your consideration.

Justin,
I'm not quite clear on what you're requesting. Do you want to use the cover art we use for Fedora media, and have it distributed at http://www.papercdcase.com/ ?
The cover art we use is already provided under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license through the Fedora wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt/F12
You're free to use and remix this to create a suitable foldable cover for the Papercdcase site, if that's what you're looking to do. If I missed your meaning, though, please feel free to correct me. :-)

Have a look at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ascenseur
http://ascenseur.fedorapeople.org/
He has some templates already made up for the Freemedia. I think it's a scribus format?
