A number of sites have achieved Blackboard-uPortal integration - search the uPortal archives for details <http://list.unm.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=jasig-portal&D=0> To do it legally I believe you need the enterprise version (i.e. the expensive one). The integration is not "deep" - you get single sign-on and perhaps a channel/portlet showing the courses on which you are enrolled. AFAIK no-one is yet achieving deeper integration by cherry-picking things like Blackboard discussion boards into uPortal channels. I get the impression Blackboard really wants to be the centre of the universe; it doesn't play second fiddle well.
