 basering)?

 The axioms of categories say that there must be the identity morphism for
 any object, and that composition of functors must be associative. It is
 not required that there is a morphism (e.g., the null-homomorphism)
 between any two objects. So, I guess a category of modules is just fine.

 Cheers,
 Simon
