      Howdy,

      Well, first, sorry for bad English... now, to the question 🙂

      I was going to install Opera Browser in my Windows, but a line in its EULA caught my attention:

      "You are entitled to use the Software on all personal computers (laptops/desktops) (...)"

      Well, considering the way the sentence is written, I'm tempted to interpret (and I am actually interpreting) "personal computer" as a way Opera's lawyers used to refer to a modern Desktop/Laptop Computer System, not actually bothering about its actual domestic/professional use.

      But... it's a matter of interpretation. I did a search and found an already locked topic with the same question, but no one brought a final answer to it, leaving the question open (despite this topic having apparently solved the question, but I'm unsure).

      So... am I free to use Opera browser on my workplace PCs/working PCs or is it only for personal use on a PC used solely for non-commercial purposes? I know there are lots of people who use Opera on their commercial places as their working browsers but this can't answer the question, as there are also lots of people who use pirated copies of Windows in their companies and using pirated copies of Windows is still illegal. The question may seem dumb or just a bother but EULA Compliance is a serious thing, mostly in commercial environments - we users need to know if we're using it accordingly or not, thus my question here.

      Thanks in advance.
