Yes, that is why you have the option of purchasing it! Commercial software is not all evil, at least not in the case of Opera. I *do* have a registered version of Opera these days, but to be honest, it's well worth a little banner space to have such a fast, robust browser. A really fine, standard browser is one of the things that is still holding Linux back; I think that any proponent of Linux should joyfully embrace Opera, and what it might do to bring Linux more into the mainstream.
