In General American and Canada, /l/ is generally dark, but to varying degrees: before stressed vowels it is neutral or only slightly velarized.[17] In southern U.S. accents it is noticeably clear between vowels, and in some other positions.

It means "not velarized." (" only slightly velarized" would mean that it can be, but not significantly.)
