commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=05328554ec70bf32060de05dd75e4b9e4b871d3b
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2019.08.x
Dropwatch links with readline, which is GPL-3.0+, so not compatible with
GPL-2.0. When asked about this, upstream has clarified that the license
really is GPL-2.0+:
