It's the WMD Markdown editor which is free and seems to be pretty easy to use. Just include the javascript for it and (in the easiest case), it just attaches to the first textarea it finds.

@Chris Upchurch Technically the current release isn't open-source, just free to use. The next version is supposed to be released with an MIT license though.
"now completely free to use. The next release will be open source under an MIT-style license."
I don't know about this control, but TinyMCE is:

The WMD editor is completely free (in the speech and beer senses of the word). It's available under an MIT-style license.
