What IP has Microsoft purchased from Novell/Attachmate?

Just checked Microsoft's press releases and nothing there (yet) about this $450M purchase!

Novell also announced it has entered into a definitive agreement for the concurrent sale of certain intellectual property assets to CPTN Holdings LLC, a consortium of technology companies organized by Microsoft Corporation, for $450 million in cash, which cash payment is reflected in the merger consideration to be paid by Attachmate Corporation.

Mary-Jo Foley doesn't know what this is either?
