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

Why would it be illegal, or unethical? I don't really see any reason.

I thought because some people wouldn't know about the app and may think they have to pay

Is it against playstore rules to say in the description they can get it for free elsewhere? I do see how it could be or feel unethical, if people aren't aware.
