If we were created then the creators probably put fail safes so we can't see our own code.

Was thinking about this in terms of AI. As we create it we are probably going to put fail safes on it. So it would be reasonable then to assume if we were created the same thing would be programmed in us.

But we can that's what DNA is and we are learning how to rewrite it.

That's true, I wonder where consciousnesses falls into that?

C.S. Lewis once said you are a soul, you have a body.

now we need to protest against god to open source humans or make a libre alternative

Hard to say. It depends on what kind of programs/robots we were. It might be that certain percentage of us are our creaters, it might be that we got rid of our creators, it might be that there's only one creator...

Too many possibilities.

Nah, they'd allow self modifying code to see what we do with it.

But we might be able to reverse engineer it. Isn't that what we are doing, kinda?

If only they left an instruction manual

And you think they did it correctly? Every large SW project has bugs. I assume this one would as well.
