The original code remains available under the original.

Any proprietary code would have to be code that was added on top of that.

You always have the ability to keep using the Own Source code. That is a freedom you have.

If you decide that proprietary version is “better” and choose to use that, well that is a freedom you have. But now you have accepted a proprietary license. Your choice.

That generalization is wrong. If the license does not state that freedom one can revoke said thing. The author(s) can change the entire license.

If not stated you may be able to fork off a previous version. Depending on the CLA (or its absence) you may have to speak with any contributor prior to publishing your fork!!!!
