The '''Count's of Falkenstein''', were German nobility named after the [[Burg Falkenstein (Donnersberg)|'''Burg Falkenstein''']] at [[Donnersbergkreis|Donnersberg]] in what is now the [[Rhineland-Palatinate]].
===[[October Open Game License]]===
In 1255 the family inherited by marriage land from the Count's of '''Hagen-Münzenberg'''. In this manner they came to be established in the [[Frankfurt Rhein-Main Region]]. At '''[[Königstein im Taunus]]''' they built their new Castle '''[[Burg Falkenstein (Taunus)|Burg (Neu-)Falkenstein]]'''.
This entry describes an open source license which wasn't used and no longer exists, and at this point the Wikipedia entry is nothing more than a link to the Creative Commons license. The only purpose for keeping this entry active would be to argue over it (POV-heavy edits have already been added and deleted a couple of times), which the authors of the subject of the entry (of whom I am one) deem to be a colossal waste of time. I think Wikipedia would be improved by just removing the article. [[User:Bblackmoor|Bblackmoor]] 02:06, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The Falkenstein's als inherited the town of [[Offenbach am Main]] from the Count of Münzenberg. They leased the town to the neighbouring town of [[Frankfurt am Main]] for 1,000 [[Gulden]].

* '''Delete''': Wasn't used, so no point in preserving it for history, and not active, so no point in preserving it for contemporary information. [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 15:30, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Count [[Werner von Falkenstein|Werner III. von Falkenstein]] († 1418) was [[Archbishop of Trier]] from 1388 until his death in 1418. He is remembered for his provokation against the people of Frankfurt by developing rivalry with that town and Offenbach.
* '''Keep''': it is misleading to assume that this license is inactive, in fact there are still systems and sites out their who have and are still publishing their material under the OOGL, for example the [http://www.tiltingatwindmills.net/alfresco/html/appendix/oogl.html al'Fresco] RPG and the Jazz RPG. Also, this should be kept for historical reasons as one of the first alternatives to the OGL. Please note that [[User:Bblackmoor|Bblackmoor]] is the author of this license and may have other reasons than those stated for deleting this page. --[[User:Axon|Axon]] 14:17, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
* '''Delete''': Non-notable, POV, Fancruft (members of the "open source" community can be just as vocal and subjective as any Star Trek or Buffy fan). Incidentally, the "keep" note above is from Axon, one of the people who keeps adding POV to the entry. Axon also deleted the "marked for deletion" tag (which I have restored). <br />For the record, the [http://www.tiltingatwindmills.net/alfresco/alfrescoOGC.html "al fresco" game] (which is, as far as I know, the first and only third-party game ever released under the OOGL) has long since been released under a [[Creative Commons]] license. The authors of that game specifically request people '''not''' to use the OOGL. The argument for keeping this entry active amounts to little more than making it a vanity page for [[Richard Stallman]]. The guy has his own wikipedia entry: he does not need another one. -- [[User:Bblackmoor|Bblackmoor]] 18:20, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The Falkenstein male line died out with the death of Werner III. in 1418. Their landed estates were inherited by '''[[Herren von Eppstein]]''' family as well as the Counts von Solms.
* '''Keep''' Notable topic. --[[User:L33tminion|L33tminion]] | [[User talk:L33tminion|(talk)]] 16:21, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
* '''Delete'''. One use of the license hardly makes it notable. [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 23:20, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
