The Bourne Again Shell was created for use in the GNU project. The GNU project was started by Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation in an effort to create a free version Unix for the ix86 along with all of the required utilities. Bash was intended to be the standard shell for this GNU system. When the complete GNU system failed to materialize Linux came on the scene and it adopted Bash as its standard shell. Bash is also available for pretty much every other Unix system and for Microsoft Windows.
