Is it correct to assume the the WP signal is connected to some GPIO pin which can be set / unset in software?

No, it's a dip switch on the board. You have to physically set the dip switch in order write protect or unprotect the EEPROM.

And the setting cannot be read back through some GPIO pin eitheer? Arghh... what a broken design...

Thanks for the explanation.

Best regards,
