No. Delphi does *not* solve this by using dynamic linking. If a package is
installed in the IDE (no matter whether it is Delphi or Lazarus) its code
becomes part of the running process (for Delphi when the package is loaded
at IDE start, for Lazarus during compilation and linking).
The execution of the dongle code is only prevented if the developer of the
component checked whether the design mode is active and does not execute
the dongle code in that case (or the component is not used, because a
project is loaded that does not use the component).
