I looked around your web site and I thought about trying out your product, but one feeling never stopped nagging me: even though I'm not in a large organization, I need absolute assurance that the AI is trained only on our code and permissively licensed open source software (like MIT or BSD.) Also, whenever it uses permissively licensed code, I need a complete list of everything it based its work upon so I can declare the relevant licenses.

Without that, I can't even entertain the idea of using an AI code tool for anything but private projects that I don't share with anyone.

Exactly this. Also, even the "our code" case if not done carefully may copy code from one or more internal projects that had in turn copied with attribution from an Open Source project, and fail to propagate the attribution.
