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