commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=d05e41eb1a934b2358799588bb305073d6df8e52
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

When used without spdx_lookup the BSD licence cannot be
detected correctly because many Python packages just specify
BSD without the exact version in their metadata. So add a
special message warning the user instead of the licence id.

Bonus: fix typo.
