Which flavor to install? I want to give it shot as a desktop OS running on old laptop.

As a rule of thumb, install OpenBSD. If it doesn't meet your expectations, consider NetBSD or FreeBSD; the former is a last resort, depending on your laptop's architecture. The latter no longer supports i686.
I run Free on my laptop for ZFS. Battery life is better on Open. Both are easier to use than Net.

Why BSD isn't called GNU/BSD? I thought Stallman basically owns everything because he is the sole developer of GNU Operating System.

Didn't you catch the memo? You can't have BSD threads on this board without constant spam by ganootards.

Because they don't use the GNU coreutils, instead they use their own implementations.
I actually wish there was a BSD that embraced GNU/GPL software, closest thing I know is NetBSD but that's just because they aren't as dogmatic as the others.

I like FreeBSD. I like OpenBSD more conceptually but it takes like 5 minutes to boot on my machine compared to ~45 seconds for FreeBSD
