commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=c074fade2c5cfde60c26003c25c05471d1e00c0f
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

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+:
