Differential linear categories provide the categorical semantics of the multiplicative and exponential fragments of Differential Linear Logic. Briefly, a differential linear category is a symmetric monoidal category that is enriched over commutative monoids (called additive enrichment) and has a monoidal coalgebra modality that is equipped with a codereliction. The codereliction is what captures the ability of differentiating non-linear proofs via linearization in Differential Linear Logic. The additive enrichment plays an important role since it allows one to express the famous Leibniz rule. However, the axioms of a codereliction can be expressed without any sums or zeros. Therefore, it is natural to ask if one can consider a possible non-additive enriched version of differential linear categories. In this paper, we show that even if a codereliction can technically be defined in a non-additive setting, it nevertheless induces an additive enrichment via bialgebra convolution. Thus, we obtain a novel characterization of a differential linear category as a symmetric monoidal category with a monoidal bialgebra modality equipped with a codereliction. Moreover, we also show that coderelictions are, in fact, unique. We also introduce monoidal Hopf coalgebra modalities and discuss how antipodes relate to enrichment over Abelian groups.
