 From FC1 to FC5 the wallpapers used to be part of the 
desktop-backgrounds-basic package (marked as LGPL licensed) with the 
/usr/share/backgrounds/images/default.png filename.

For FC6 and F7 they were moved in fedora-logos (marked as Copyright Red 
Hat) with the /usr/share/backgrounds/images/default.png filename.

Here is a collection of the files (thanks to Martin, who had it already 
prepared):
