Is linking to an open source component enough to comply with GPL LGPL or MPL open source licensing?

NO!
GPL, LGPL and MPL are complex licenses and without more knowledge this question can't be answered.
The gist of GPL, you can do with the program what you want, as long as it is you who has control over the running program, including using it in business, adding features, changing the source code, fixing bugs.
If you give a GPL licensed program to anybody else (distribution), you need to also make available the source code, and all changes you might have done to it. This includes derivative work, such as embedding it into another program. And you need tp make the program (including your changes) available under the same license.
The LGPL requires the same conditions, except it allows to distribute the code in a binary form, and linked "dynamically" as a library in derivative work, such as larger applications.
The MPL is a totally different license, with less restrictions.

Why are there no longer evel knievel toys?
The reason that there are no longer any Evel Knievel toys made is because they were made by the Ideal Company and that company is no longer in business. If someone was to make Evel Knievel toys again, they would have to get licensing (permission) from his estate. Then there would have to be enough interest in him to be able to sell millions of the toys to make back the investment of tooling, manufacturing and licensing. Unfortunately, there may not be enough children out there in the world that know who he was enough to buy a toy they resembles him and what he did almost 40 years ago.
