"CppCMS is a Free High Performance Web Development Framework (not a CMS)"

This is so dumb. Why it is called CppCMS then?

Quote from that page:

The original idea was: "Write your own CMS in C++".

The lead developer asked in 2008 for a better name but didn't get any suggestions, so the name stuck.

It was decided later to keep this name as it was already well known name and all the software around used cppcms as the namespace.
