Your ssh was not downgraded, the first part only means the protocol
version, the second part (from OpenSSH) is the ssh version number.

Do you have something like 'Protocol 1' or 'Protocol 1,2' in your
sshd_config? Also note that the ports version uses
/usr/local/etc/sshd_config by default IIRC.

You should delete the Protocol line from sshd_config, so it will
default to 2,1: try first SSH2 protocol, if that fails fall back to
SSH1.

This will give you the desired version string.

the commercial ssh from ssh.com is just a different implementation, it's
free for free OS's. OpenSSH works just fine for me so I see no reason to
use the commercial version.
