Linking Rosetta statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work based on Rosetta. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GPL cover the whole combination. As a special exception, the copyright holders of Rosetta give you permission to link Rosetta with independent modules, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting combined work under terms of your choice, provided that every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a complete copy of the source code of Rosetta (the version of Rosetta used to produce the combined work), being distributed under the terms of the GPL plus this exception. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on Rosetta, and which is fully useable when not linked to Rosetta in any form.

While it is by no means required, the copyright holders of Rosetta would appreciate being informed any time you create a modified version of Rosetta that you are willing to distribute, because that is a practical way of suggesting improvements to the standard version.
SYNOPSIS
To come later.
DESCRIPTION
The Rosetta::Engine::Null Perl 5 module is a trivial Rosetta Engine whose only purpose in life is to help test the core Rosetta module. It can't actually do anything itself, and certainly doesn't either interface to or implement a database. Look at the other Rosetta::Engine::* modules for that.
As with all Rosetta::Engine::* modules, you are not supposed to instantiate objects of Rosetta::Engine::Null directly; rather, you use this module indirectly through the Rosetta::Interface class. Following this logic, there is no class function or method documentation here.
BUGS
This module is currently in pre-alpha development status, meaning that some parts of it will be changed in the near future, perhaps in incompatible ways.
