Oldenburg and Oldenborg are the same thing. I don’t speak Danish and Oldenburg is used in English. The senior or direct line of the House of Oldenburg died out but the House of Oldenburg still exists. All Glücksburgs are Oldenburgs.
It is exactly the same as how the Direct Capetians died out but the Bourbons are still all Capetians (including the Orléans who are all Bourbons).
It’s originally a German dynasty anyway so I don’t see how Danish jurists could declare it extinct especially when Oldenburgs exist outside of Denmark.
