When you can no longer innovate sue for royalties. Consumers would be far better off with the european software patent system as opposed to the abortion we have now.

It's starting to appear at other sites, so I don't think this bit of news is a fake.

Here's a few more sites:

I'm not saying that specific story is fake, but they exagerate EVERYTHING, and downright lie at others... Will HTC start paying to use Android, yes.. Is it going "skyrocket the price of the Evo"? No, don't be stupid. They create headline to draw in traffic...
