One of my team members found the source code of a paid module on github, my guess is that someone bought it and pushed the code to his/her public repository. Is it ethical for me as the team leader to push the code in production?

If you want to act legally, you have to follow the license of the module, mostly defined in the manifest. If it is a proprietary license, you are not allowed to use it. If it has no license documented, it is proprietary.

My question was about ethics, not law. But I will take this as "might be legal but definatlly not ethical"

If it is an open source license, then it is legal and it is not unethical, that's the meaning of open source licenses. If you want to feel better, you can donate the author accordingly :-)

If it is illegal, then it is also unethical, in my opinion.

The license is OPL-1, is it legal to use the module without paying? In the manifest the price is set.

OPL (Odoo Proprietary License) is not an open source license, therefore it is illegal to use the module without paying. Please read the corresponding license terms:

Thank you very much, I confused it with "Open Public License v1.0".
