This warning was added just recently per bug 573050. Both Opera |
39 |
licenses are clear EULA and thus were added to @EULA license group, |
40 |
which requires explicit user approval if default ACCEPT_LICENSE is |
41 |
used. That's why you have not seen the message during opera |
42 |
installation. For fresh install it will appear unless EULA is |
43 |
allowed in ACCEPT_LICENSE (I'm not recommending this, since EULA |
44 |
licenses are not supposed to be implicitly accepted.). |
