Well, the FSF itself uses the concept of weak: For example,
when describing WxWidgets:

    Like the LGPL it is a weak copyleft license, so we recommend it only in special circumstances.

So, at least according to https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html,
the FSF considers LGPL as weak copyleft.
