The one I posted was from Opera directly and was for a specific PDA. It was also the one that was originally linked by most websites (when it was hosted on Opera's server). I got it from an online friend on another message board via Direct Connect. I simply put it on a random free file-host site when members here started asking for it.

Basically what happened was people discovered they could make a modified dll to unlock Opera and get it to work on all Window Mobile devices. Those same people started passing the dll files around. In responce to people unlocking the browser, Opera took down the original and replaced it with one that was changed just enough so the moddified dll wouldn't work.

In addition the most current version (public beta) adds a 45-day trial. And with this trial now released, I'd assume that would make using and/or posting links to the previous versions against the rules and would be likened to pirated P2P software.
