On my Debian machine:

$ ls -al /opt
total 20
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 Apr 15 19:48 ./
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Apr 15 13:09 ../
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Apr 15 19:48 brother/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Apr 15 18:37 google/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Apr 15 18:36 skypeforlinux/

These are Brother scanner drivers, Google Chrome, and Skype for Linux. 
The last two are managed via apt repositories but still live in /opt. 
All install scripts/links in /usr/bin.

Kind regards,
