[Qgis-user] geojson file permission settings

[Groene Bij]

It is very easy.
In less than a minute I can produce the .shp and .dbf file of your wind farm data and use them myself.
However, since you haven't set any names for the attributes, and I am not an expert on wind farm data, it is difficult to guess what the values represent.

I figured this out myself, using my own maps, being concerned data might be accessible. That's what triggered me to ask these questions. There may be many ways to avoid this issue, but I am no expert on internet security so I do not know them.

I use qgis2web on a Windows machine.  Am I naive to think that others cannot obtain the underlying data for this map:
http://www.mflan.com/temp/wind/index.html

If that data can be obtained I would like to know the procedure one would use to obtain it.

I'm thinking my map is not geojson, but I could be wrong.
