You can't "make" code proprietary, that's a common misconception.

Code is proprietary because an individual or company has claimed proprietary rights to it. If the user receives a computer program without all four freedoms, then the user cannot claim to have freedom. Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.

When someone "takes" your code and does something to it, it doesn't affect your own copy of the code at all. Code is information, not a physical object, it is copied, not moved, so it can't be "stolen" or "made proprietary". You better stop listening to propaganda and start thinking for yourself.
Code can be 1. adopted, 2. forked and 3. published 4. while not granting the users their essential freedoms. Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. This is what it means when free software is "made proprietary. In order for the user must have all four freedoms at the same time.
