I think at the point of "I copied the specs for `fn` and `defn` in my own code base, and modified them accordingly.", that sounds like a modification of source under the EPL. A more subtle interpretation would require legal expertise.
Re the PS, yes that's a larger known issue around regex specs in a vector, which is a thorny issue.
