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

    Free and Open Source developers have often a hard time to earn money for their work. Having it for 10 Euros/Dollars on Steam is an easy way for them to earn money and for users to support the software they like. I honestly wish more Free Software would come to Steam for little support money. I like the universal simple account to pay through Steam with Steam cards and don’t need another account or bank transfer for each project. It’s a small one time fee.
