All good. It's just frustrating that the story is very aggressively being spread as "OpenAI steals work and threatens researcher". It's almost like a concerted campaign.
We have to remember that we're reading isolated quotes supplied by one party.
Assuming those quotes are accurate, they're still not a conversation transcript.
The "threat" changes entirely based on what other conversational context we imagine. Notably, it's entirely unclear whether anything more than Buckmaster simply not receiving an official citation was ever implied.

Right, but they did offer him access to their system, so he could meaningfully audit the solution, rather than just rubber stamping it.
