A word of caution regarding the FHS. It is quite an old document. Many distributions, led by Fedora, are moving away from this standard as far as /usr/bin, /bin, /usr/sbin, /sbin and other OS-specifc directories are concerned.
However the intended purpose for /usr/local and /opt has not changed over the years.
