Doesn't this give OpenAI access to your source code?

I don't think it'd give them access at any time but related data/code for gets sent to OpenAI when you use it, all LLM models who work with code work that way, otherwise it'd be unfeasible.

However, OpenAI pinky promises they don't use API data for anything, like training. Maybe that makes you feel a bit safer, although probably it shouldn't.

OpenAI said they where non-profit, until they suddenly were for-profit.

So I think we shouldn't trust them that much.

It doesn't. I don't trust OpenAI or Sama. Frankly, I'm even hesitant to use VSCode now, even with its customizable privacy/telemetry settings (though I can at least limit its network access).

Source code as in current script yes.

But not your entire codebase.

Depending on your company thay may or may not be a showstopper.
