Unless the DC was created by one of the earlier Dark Ones. Since the current Dark One has all of the knowledge from previous Dark Ones, an argument could be made that the Dark One created the curse, and Rumple (who was the Dark One at the time he found the curse) could legitimately claim the creation.

However, we still know nothing of the DC at this point.
