A few additional comments here:
1. As Justin said, you can select which one you want to choose (and ALv2 is a
good choice!). Some projects take extra measures to explicitly state which of
the two options they elect.
2. The ALv2 + LGPL option is common, primarily to accommodate projects under
GPLv2 which consider the additional patent terms of ALv2 incompatible. The
LGPL alternative is generally offered as an alternative to permit GPLv2
projects to use the project as a dependency.
For those of us who want to make our libraries accessible to anyone, we're
stuck with either MIT or dual ALv2/LGPL licensing. Projects choosing to go
ALv2 only are going to be incompatible to be used as a dependency with GPLv2
projects.

Jackson looks to be dual licensed [1] so you can select which license of
the two you want to use. (Hint you would select ALv2.). Not all code bases with
multiple licenses work that way. In each case you'll need to look at them to
see if they are dual licensed or if they contain code under both licenses.
Kind Regards,
