Good idea - it's probably something to do with the Maven build artifacts, I've seen it just pick the first <license> before - but they shouldn't claim to be dual license if they are now single-license.
Could you check if this is the case inside also the JAR files of the latest Jackson releases, as I think there has been a new major release since the one we use?
