This is a part from raw map code. If you want to protect your map you must use a program that will damage the map file so you can't open it in editor but can still be played. This can be done because the world editor saves many unnecessary things in the map. Damaging the map file means it can not be opened no matter what editor you use.

Vexorian's map optimizer does what you are asking for
You see Game gets compiled into some other code when you save the map
Your map file contains a file reading by Game and a file reading by World editor
It deletes the one reading by world editor (so also reduces map size)
And it has some tweak options that optimizes speed
