The same opensource app, downloadable on both stores but paid on playstore and free on fdroid. Is it legal and is it ethical? Why?

If you don't own the copyright and its libre software, this is 100% legal too

No. It's not. Please take a look at different licenses in this area, whatever 'libre' means

Libre is a type of license that makes this legal. Eg GPL or CC SA
