There are different versions of the GPL license, ranging from the lightweight copyleft LGPL to the strong copyleft AGPL.

But if the LGPL is a lighter copyleft version of the GPL, why isn’t there a lighter copyleft version of the AGPL?

    Nah, you can have a license that says you get a cupcake and another license that says you need to give up your first-born.
    And then you can mush those licenses to say that you need to give up your first-born, but you get a cupcake in return.

    Unless the specific license terms contradict, this is totally possible.
