I do know that Jane Espenson wrote episodes for Buffy, but what is your point? Jane did not create Buffy, Jane did not write season 2 finale where Buffy sent Angel to hell by stabbing him with a longsword, Jane was not involved with Angel where Angel's infant son was kidnapped, raised in a different dimension where time moved faster, then he returned much older, darker and twisted. Jane did not write or direct the musical episode. Jane was only a writer who received outlines to write an episode from the showrunner, she doesn't have any rights for Buffy (and moreover Angel) and it doesn't mean that it's ok for OUAT to rip off a better show.

Whoa. That's incredible all your efforts to make OUAT look bad ^^

So, because Jane did not create Buffy, then it is a rip off? Fine. Guess, we should rename our Lost references page to Lost rip off, because as far as I am concerned A&E did not create Lost. So yeah, if we follow your logic, then OUAT is just doing rip off of Lost ^^

And, what's the point to show similarities? Billions of shows, films, etc... exist so yeah, at one moment, we will have some similarities. Do not make them rip off. Not because a show did something (or a film) that they own the idea.

Then, we can also talk how "original" is Buffy. Because yeah, it is totally Buffy which is at the origin of a person fighting vampires, right? Oh, and musical episodes too. Pretty sure Buffy created the concept, so clearly if another show is doing a musical episode, it is definitely a rip off of Buffy. Not like, IDK, The Simpsons did a musical episode 4 years before Buffy? Naaaaaah, this idea is so taken from Buffy.
