Yea, LGPL is OK.  The Apache license doesn't limit the license of the modules. The code that you bring in may limit your license, but Autopsy won't limit it.

I think that in a few days I will be able to share the module and the source. LGPL is ok to a possible future integration with Autopsy?

Is there any guideline on how to embed native libs into the module? And would it be better to embed a portable LibreOffice into the module (some hundreds of megabytes, ~100 MB zipped) or to ask the user to download and install LibreOffice to enable all module features?

Looking at the developers guidelines, apis and source, I think I could contribute with one or some modules. I have been working for the last three years on a java analisys tool and I think that I could adapt some of its modules to autopsy modules.
