What is a "Very" Light Jet?

How do you define a "Very" Light Jet, and what is new about them?

Looking at classics:

Learjet 23 weighs under 3 tons empty.

Cessna Citation is just under 2500 kg empty.

And recently -

The new Eclipse 500, said to have just entered into service, weight slightly over 1600 kg empty.

So, what is the difference between a "Very" Light Jet, and simply a small private jet?

And the Cri-Cri twinjet weighs something about 80 kg OEW. So, what is a "Very" Light Jet?
