I think all light artillery means is infantry that do siege damage. They are infantry, but are trained from the artillery foundry because they do siege damage instead of ranged or melee. The best proof I have found showing abus and grenadiers are infantry without looking in the game's files is that, if a civ has the card engineering school it will either not have grenadiers/abus or the card fencing school. Ottoman doesn't have fencing school(infantry training card) because if they did, abus guns and grenadiers would be instant in age 4, 40+40+25=105 train time off. The other two civs that have engineering school, portugal, france, have fencing school but don't have grenadiers. So if engineering school effects grenadiers and fencing school affects grenadiers, then having both cards and grenadiers would be very OP.
